Quicksand & Bane, two of hardcore's most influential bands sharing the stage, live at The Bellwether this Thursday! It’s impossible to overstate the influence that Quicksand have on the hardcore scene. Formed in New York City in 1990 out of the ashes of Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today, Burn and Bold, the band took the aggression of hardcore and added a more groove-driven crunch to it, unintentionally inventing the genre known today as a post-hardcore.  Formed in Massachusetts, Bane began as a side project between Aaron Dalbec and members of Converge.
