We couldn’t have predicted this one: Quicksand’s latest preview from their forthcoming Bring On the Psychics album is a “diss track” targeting the so-called cool guys in the hardcore scene. Aptly dubbed “Cool Guy,” the new song is explained in a press release to be “an OG HC diss track” like Minor Threat’s “Small Man, Big Mouth” or Negative Approach’s “Hypocrite” (we’d add guitarist Walter Schreifels “Big Mouth” track with Gorilla Biscuits as another possible point of reference, but we digress.) While inspired by those faster hardcore progenitors, “Cool Guy” proceeds as a melodic, yet pound-forward post-hardcore groover, wherein Schreifels posits that the loudest person in the room can sometimes be the weakest of the bunch (“You always try a little too much / Projecting confidence at someone else’s expense”) and reiterates that they should stop talking shit (“Maybe instead you should just shut it!”). “Sometimes you just gotta get those negative emotions out,” the members of Quicksand add of their heat check. A performance vid of “Cool Guy” is streaming up above. It’s the fifth preview behind Bring On the Psychics, following “Super Collider,” “Get to It,” “Regenerate” and “Crystalize.” As previously reported, the album is out July 17th via Equal Vision. A vinyl pre-order for the LP on exclusive Pink Splatter wax is up in Revolver’s shop. Quicksand also recently revealed North American tour plans with Massachusetts hardcore vets Bane.
