Season 002, Episode 015 with Walter Schreifels of Quicksand
In this episode, I speak with Walter Schreifels, member of the legendary hardcore bands, Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today, and the guitarist and singer of the highly acclaimed, Quicksand, who just announced its 30th Anniversary re-issue of their iconic debut album, “Slip” on Iodine Recordings.
Walter and I discuss the correlation between running and creativity, the humbling aspect of pushing beyond your comfort zone, smallness, time, and chemistry between collaborators. We talk about the pursuit to always to keep moving forward, strive for new, and how life can be a “choose your own adventure.”
“We wanted to make something that was cool and exciting to us. and if people didn’t think it was hardcore, or it was stupid — whatever; no one cares.”
