[kj] New October File vid, from upcoming LP - on second though, don't it sound like Quicksand?

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

On second thought, this new October File song sounds a bit like 
QUICKSAND. ANyone remember them? Early 90s post-hardcore band in the 
vein of Fugazi and Seaweed, good stuff, sometimes great, for some reason 
never captured as much success as they should have:

Good stuff! I often heard it weirdly said, when unknowing folks heard 
Quicksand back in the day, "Hey, that sounds like Tool!" But Quicksand 
had zero to do with Tool; Quicksand came out of the East Coast New York 
Hardcore scene but sounded more like Fugazi w/ maybe Jane's Addiction 
for vocals. Good formula for success -- but they got none. And they may 
have started out before Tool, at least as early as 1990.
