In July 2013 Melbourne-based New-Wave group The Solicitors released one of the most talked about debuts of the year, in the shape of their 'Made To Measure' EP, on Australian indie label Popboomerang Records. The introductory release got some serious airtime on the National wireless and a plethora of internet radio stations. Garnering critical acclaim from print media, and countless rave-reviews from blogs the world over, its success led to licensing deals in Japan and the UK.
Promoting the EP the band have been cementing their reputation as one of the must-see acts of 2013 with their consistently raucous and energetic live show. As their stock continues to rise The Solicitors are back with their brand new single 'QUICKSAND' , part 1 of a double-A release, with part 2 due in December. Already a firm fan-favourite, this driving 3 minute pop-rock opus laments over a friend-in-need past the point of no return. The track embodies everything you come to expect from this band - big dumb hooks, clever arrangements, blunt lyrics and a sharp wardrobe.

lyrics
What a surprise, I oblige
Every time you flutter your eyes
But I saw the signs, I soon realised
That my lifeline, would be our demise
'Cos it goes right up your nose
Then you lie right through your teeth
And you leave me in the cold to take the heat
Heaven there's just no helping you
You're in quicksand there's nothing I can do
Every time I reach out my hand to you
Before you know it I'm in quicksand too
Quelle surprise, Mon amis
Pardon my french but you see
I'm gonna leave, you're out of your tree
We'll have to agree to disagree, with me
That you're my damsel in distress
And I'm not your marionette
So dry your eyes 'cos I'm not getting wet
Heaven there's just no helping you
You're in quicksand there's nothing I can do
Every time I reach out my hand to you
Before you know it I'm in quicksand too
And I know I'm just the flavour of the month
But if you ever need a favour, oh you'll be in touch
Heaven there's just no helping you
You're in quicksand there's nothing I can do
Every time I reach out my hand to you
Before you know it I'm in quicksand
Too little, too late, too bad now
You're in quicksand theres nothing I can do
Every time I reach out my hand to you
Before you know it I'm in quicksand too.
Every time you flutter your eyes
But I saw the signs, I soon realised
That my lifeline, would be our demise
'Cos it goes right up your nose
Then you lie right through your teeth
And you leave me in the cold to take the heat
Heaven there's just no helping you
You're in quicksand there's nothing I can do
Every time I reach out my hand to you
Before you know it I'm in quicksand too
Quelle surprise, Mon amis
Pardon my french but you see
I'm gonna leave, you're out of your tree
We'll have to agree to disagree, with me
That you're my damsel in distress
And I'm not your marionette
So dry your eyes 'cos I'm not getting wet
Heaven there's just no helping you
You're in quicksand there's nothing I can do
Every time I reach out my hand to you
Before you know it I'm in quicksand too
And I know I'm just the flavour of the month
But if you ever need a favour, oh you'll be in touch
Heaven there's just no helping you
You're in quicksand there's nothing I can do
Every time I reach out my hand to you
Before you know it I'm in quicksand
Too little, too late, too bad now
You're in quicksand theres nothing I can do
Every time I reach out my hand to you
Before you know it I'm in quicksand too.

Beyond The Static
by Nick Piuntisupported by 20 fans who also own “FREE bonus track - "Quicksand" (brand new digital only single)”
Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'.

No Weapon But Love
by Icecream Handssupported by 18 fans who also own “FREE bonus track - "Quicksand" (brand new digital only single)”
Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here.

This Calgary group makes goth-y post-punk attired in the brightly colorful arrangements of bleep-boop synthesized psychedelia.

The New Sell Out
by Futureman Recordssupported by 18 fans who also own “FREE bonus track - "Quicksand" (brand new digital only single)”
Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century.
