Legendary, independent, New York-based rock label Equal Vision Records and acclaimed punk veterans HOT WATER MUSIC and QUICKSAND are excited to announce the release of their brand-new, four-song, split EP. Featuring classics covered by each band from QUICKSAND's Slip and HOT WATER MUSIC's No Division, the new EP also features the unreleased tracks 'Supercollider,' QUICKSAND's first new song since 2021's Distant Populations, and 'Undertow,' a new HOT WATER MUSIC song lifted from it's Brian McTernan-produced Vows sessions. 'Like many who grew up listening to hardcore and punk rock from early ages on, we were inspired and driven by a lot of work from all the members that make up QUICKSAND and of course by QUICKSAND themselves,' HOT WATER MUSIC vocalist/guitarist Chuck Ragan said. 'Fast forward to 1999 when we had the honor of working with Walter Schreifels as he produced our record No Division. That experience went from surreal and intimidating to completely comforting and empowering. Our respect and admiration grew tenfold until we got the chance to tour with them. We already admired and respected them, now we love them like family.' Ragan concludes, 'Getting to know Alan, Walter, and Sergio on the road and now doing a split together has been an incredible experience, and though we find ourselves in the most normal situations with these salt of the Earth souls, we're still pinching ourselves from time-to-time.' QUICKSAND's Walter Schreifels adds, 'It's an awesome, full circle moment for me to be a part of this split with HOT WATER MUSIC. It wasn't too long after QUICKSAND broke up that I got to meet and work with HOT WATER MUSIC as producer for their album No Division. It was an absolutely magical experience. We had so much fun, the album came out amazing, and at the very end of the last day of recording, I added a vocal to my fave song 'Free Radio Gainesville,' which we covered for the split. I'm beyond grateful that all these years later QUICKSAND is back doing what we love along with our brothers in HWM, still playing with that same passion that drew us together in the first place. Feels like home.'

GRADING
GRADING
Yellow Racket assigns condition based on the Goldmine Standard for grading records.
New (N) (Not typically included in the Goldmine Standard)
New records are purchased directly from the label, distributor, or registered wholesaler. Records are still sealed. Jackets may have slight shelf wear, but media has never been played.
Mint (M)
Still sealed. Never played. No observable flaws. Items have been purchased secondhand.
Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint (NM) record will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
The cover (and any additional packaging) has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable defects.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches.
The disc and LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be gently marred by spindle marks, paper scuffs, wrinkled corners, etc.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident, but will not overpower the music. Disc may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels, jackets, and inserts will have visible cosmetic flaws such as wrinkles, cut-outs, slight splitting, etc. However, it will usually have less than a dozen minor flaws.
Good (G)
A record in Good condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present.
While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
The record may be cracked, badly warped, or won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve may be water damaged, split, or heavily marred by wear and writing.
