Episode twelve: Walter Schreifels, Quicksand

The James McMahon Music Podcast

On this episode I'm speaking to a man who has been a constant throughout my entire existence as a music fan. Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, Rival Schools – for over thrity years, Walter Schreifels has made music that I’ve both loved, and that has helped shape the way I’ve seen the world and how I’ve existed within it. Now in the third chapter of their existence, the New York groups excellent fourth album, Distant Populations, is out now on Epitaph. I hope you enjoy this big old slab of conversation - primarily about Quicksand, but there's a bunch of stuff in there about Gorilla Biscuits, Rival Schools and - um - Gay Dad too!
