Eyes Like Midnight Drop New Single "QUICKSAND" + Official Music Video

Emerging rock sensation Eyes Like Midnight are thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, "QUICKSAND," accompanied by a compelling music video.

"With 'QUICKSAND', we wanted to shift drastically from our last single, 'BAD LOVE', to create something unapologetically fierce. We wanted to write a track that was just relentlessly heavy. I've always been pretty fascinated by Egyptian mythology and this song felt like a perfect fit to experiment with it. We ended up with what is probably the heaviest track of our careers. We debuted this track at Rock Fest in Cadott, WI and the energy we felt from the crowd was incredible!" says Robert Cosgrove, the band's vocalist.

"QUICKSAND" is now available on all major streaming platforms, and the music video can be viewed below.

Welcome to the new world.

In this age of artificial intelligence, rapid change and dynamic evolution are inevitable.

Trends and bands come and go with the hyper-speed of information flow. After 10+ years and nearly 700 live shows all across America, the dissolution of vocalist/songwriter Robert Cosgrove’s band Sleep Signals in 2023 gave birth to something new and noteworthy - and in 2024, it emerged as a fully evolved idea.

EYES LIKE MIDNIGHT signifies the dawn of a new era, where his seemingly-limitless ability to create is no longer bound by the constraints of staying within formula. “Starting over has allowed me to be much more dynamic and to incorporate different sounds into the framework of my music”, explains Cosgrove. Recording 15 new songs in three multi-week, intense sessions at producer Chris Dawson’s Aphiotic Studios in rural Kansas, Robert and his co-writers spent eight weeks writing and tracking the music that would ultimately encapsulate the beginning of EYES LIKE MIDNIGHT.

On April 18th, the debut single, “Digital Deity” was unleashed to streaming platforms globally. The track garnered immediate attention, receiving rotation on Sirius XM Octaneand several FM stations around the US. The band followed up their debut with a synthwave-inspired pop track, "Bad Love," which features a brutal breakdown before concluding the final chorus. On August 2nd, the band releases "Quicksand," the heaviest track to date.

IODINE RECORDINGS PRESS RELEASE: Quicksand's Classic "Slip" Being Reissued on Vinyl

IODINE RECORDINGS TO REISSUE QUICKSAND'S SLIP IN THREE VINYL CONFIGURATIONS

HARD COVER BOOK FEATURING CONTRIBUTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF ANTHRAX, HELMET, THURSDAY, RISE AGAINST, REFUSED, + MORE WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE

Influential label Iodine Recordings, which launched back in 1996 by distributing punk and hardcore records from a cramped apartment in Boston during the golden age of mail-order and print catalogs, rebooted in 2022 with reissues and new albums alike.

Iodine's singular mission and one that has not changed since its inception in 1996 — to release the best of the best in indie and underground music and ALWAYS put fans first.

Today, the label announces the reissue of a quintessential and definitive post-hardcore release — Quicksand's Slip.

The reissue will come in three configurations, including a hard cover book that is a "must own" for diehard fans and collectors. The book includes written contributions from members of Anthrax, Helmet, Sepultura, Thursday, Rise Against, Refused, Youth of Today, Thrice, Agnostic Front, Snapcase, Earth Crisis, Cave In, and many more. Additional details are below.

Pre-order it here.

Few albums fully establish and encapsulate a genre like Quicksand's debut album Slip does for post-hardcore. Originally recorded in 1992 and released in early February 1993, Slip is as relevant and important an album today as it was nearly 30 years ago. Slip is a musical bridge between the 1980s New York Hardcore scene from which Quicksand's members cut their teeth on, and the burgeoning sound of the '90s heavy rock. It's an album that stands toe-to-toe with other great records released that year, but the band's NYHC roots give the record an edge you won't hear on an In Utero or Siamese Dream.

Lead track "Fazer" throws listeners straight into a brick wall of heavy guitars. Quicksand's gritty genius is immediately apparent in the song: a group confident in their ability to mix heaviness, melody, and big-chorus sensibilities in a way none of their peers could dream of. Frontman Walter Schreifels and company merge their vast pool of influences (citing everyone from Bad Brains to Danzig) into a sound that's undeniably Quicksand. Nowhere is this more apparent than the album’s lead single "Dine Alone." It's a deceptively catchy song that exposed countless MTV watchers to crushing riffs, Schreifel's gritty-yet-beautiful yowling, and a still legendary odyssey of a bridge.

The album is proof positive that a band can write some of the heaviest riffs ever, while still pausing for moments to space out on songs like "Lie and Wait." The record concludes with a summation of all its accomplishments in "Transparent," offering up guitar riffs that manage to sound heavy and hopeful at the same time. "Transparent" reinterprets Revolution-Summer forward-thinking positive mindset in a new context of rock music. It's as though the band is aware of the righteous wave of great music they’re ushering in with this album. Slip gave everyone including Deftones, Glassjaw, Title Fight, and hundreds more the blueprint of what post-hardcore can accomplish. Quicksand firmly cemented Slip as an essential album in rock music and a testament to how far punk rock can go. 

Slip was recorded by Quicksand members Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today), Tom Capone (Beyond, Bold), Sergio Vega (Deftones, Moondog), and Alan Cage (Beyond, Seaweed) and co-produced by Steven Haigler (Pixies) and Don Fury (Sick of it All, Agnostic Front). Remastered by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden (Deafheaven, Joyce Manor).

STANDARD EDITION:
Available for the first time in over a decade, the 30th Anniversary Edition of Slip was completely remastered for vinyl using the original 1993 master tapes and includes bonus track "How Soon is Now?" The jacket artwork was reconstructed using original art elements and color improvements. Complete with several limited beautiful vinyl variants.

DELUXE GATEFOLD:
The Limited Deluxe Gatefold Edition includes a gold foil embossed Slipcase, a gatefold jacket, and a bonus triple gatefold poster, which features several never-seen-before photographs, rare show flyers, and commentary from Sam Siegler (Youth of Today, Judge, Rival Schools), Drew Thomas (Into Another, Bold), Jordan Cooper (Revelation Records), and Kate Reddy (108).

DELUXE LP + HARDCOVER BOOK:
The Limited-Edition Deluxe LP and 64-page hardcover book chronicles the release of this influential album. Includes a foreword by Walter Schreifels, never-before-seen photographs, original art, rare concert posters, show flyers, and ephemera from 1990-1994. Written contributions from members of Anthrax, Helmet, Sepultura, Thursday, Rise Against, Refused, Youth of Today, Thrice, Agnostic Front, Snapcase, Earth Crisis, Cave In, and many more. Complete with a case-wrapped, soft touch cover, a must have addition for any fan’s collection. Presented on a Yellow and Red Swirl Vinyl. Limited to only 2000 copies, with foil stamped numbering.

Outline In Color Drops New Single + Music Video "Quicksand" Feat. Michael Swank

Tulsa, Oklahoma, post-hardcore outfit Outline In Color has released their new single and music video "Quicksand" featuring Michael Swank of Foxera. Speaking on today's news, Michael Skaggs shares:

"'Quicksand' is about the moments in life where we become so consumed in what those around us are doing wrong, that we forget to look within. Often times when pointing out the flaws in others, we forget that we are sinking too. For me, this song was about processing trauma and learning to grow from the person I've been, and accepting myself for the person I'm becoming."

Prior to today, Outline In Color released their track "Snakebit" and announced their signing to Thriller Records. Watch the music video for "Quicksand" here below, and stream the track here.
