The missing piece of the Walter Schreifels reunion puzzle has at last fallen into place: Quicksand, the seminal post-hardcore band Schreifels led in the early ’90s, has announced a tour following a handful of reunion gigs, according to Exclaim. For years, Schreifels seemed content to move on from his bands just before they really took off. In the ’80s, it was his hardcore band Gorilla Biscuits. In the early ’90s, it was Quicksand. Around the millennium, it happened again with Rival Schools. At least Gorilla Biscuits and Quicksand went on to achieve “influential but unheralded” status. But in 2005, a ...

Singer-guitarist Walter Schreifels spent the ’90s trying to infiltrate the mainstream with Quicksand, a group second only to Fugazi in the post-hardcore pantheon. Quicksand triumphed artistically but flopped commercially—so when Schreifels’ next project, Rival Schools, released the anthemic United By Fate in 2001, it was hard not to see the album as a concession to the masses. But United’s Foo Fighters-meets-Sunny Day Real Estate sound didn’t break through either, even though it’s one of Schreifels’ best and most influential releases. After a shelved second album, Rival Schools has returned with Pedals. Wisely, it follows United’s ...

This week, Rival Schools call it a comeback.
Back at the turn of the century, a group of veterans from various hardcore punk scenes banded together to form something of a supergroup. Consisting of Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits), Sam Siegler (Civ), Cache Tolman (Iceburn) and Ian Love. Their debut album (2001's United By Fate, produced by Luke Ebbin, who also twiddled the knobs on Bon Jovi's Bounce and Crush) brought together swirls of post-hardcore noise and surprisingly sticky melody,...

With a band name taken from a Jawbreaker lyric and guest vocals by Rival Schools’ Walter Schreifels, it’s easy to mistake Nightmares For A Week’s Don’t Die as an emo throwback. Granted, that would only be half a mistake. The New York trio packs its debut album with chiseled, sinewy pop-punk that’s unafraid to rip out its guts and fly them up the flagpole. Singer-guitarist Bill Manley uses maudlin-yet-anthemic songs like “Baby” and “Bear Mountain”—catchy, imagistic confessionals unabashedly in thrall to Jawbreaker’s Dear You—to anchor occasional tracks full of acoustic guitar, organ, and ...
