Known for being a prominent member in bands such as Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits, Youth Of Today, Rival Schools, Dead Heavens, Vanishing Life, Moondog and several more... Walter Schreifels is a legend amongst the New York Hardcore scene and beyond. I called up former co-host, Johnny Candiria in for this for a special cameo appearance. We met up with Walter in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for an in depth discussion about the history of his music. Quicksand's debut record "Slip" is one of my all time favorite albums (Johnny as well) so there's a lot of talk surrounding that record which changed the landscape of music as a whole. From the early days of Youth Of Today, up to what he's working on now... this was an awesome conversation for me personally. I hope you enjoy it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Schreifels

Walter Schreifels and Arthur Smilios are most well known for being founding members of the late 80’s NYHC band Gorilla Biscuits, but that is just the tip of the iceberg in regards to their musical histories. While in Gorilla Biscuits, Walter was also in Youth of Today and Warzone. As the 90’s crept in, he formed Quicksand with members of other NYHC bands such as Beyond, Burn and Collapse and along with Into Another and Orange 9mm forged a ‘post-core’ scene within the early part of the decade. In the 2000’s, Schreifels had the bands Rival Schools and Walking Concert. Working from the same pool of musicians he knew from the NYHC scene, these bands featured members of Youth of Today and Bold. Walter’s current bands include the psychedelic rock band Dead Heavens and Vanishing Life, a band also featuring members of Rise Against and ..And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. Arthur Smilios was a member of the NYHC bands Token Entry and Underdog as well as Gorilla Biscuits. He was a member of CIV in the 90’s, who brought Hardcore to a new audience via videos on MTV and opening for Kiss. In the present day, besides playing in the reformed version of Gorilla Biscuits, Smilios plays in World Be Free, a band featuring members of Judge, Youth of Today, Strife and Terror. Their debut lp “The Anti Circle” was released in the winter of this year on Revelation Records. SET ONE THE ABUSED - “Drug Free Youth” BEASTIE BOYS - “Transit Cop” URBAN WASTE - “Public Opinion” SET TWO CHANNEL 3 - “Separate Peace” RIVAL SCHOOLS - “Good Things” WORLD BE FREE - “I’m Done” (With Walter Schreifels on guest vocals)
