Upon first listen you’d never know Caustic Waves was a one band project with how catchy his new song ‘Quicksand’ is. Bringing an alt rock sound that is both familiar but refreshing the single is everything you’d want in a rock song. Check it out below.
Launched in 2022, CAUSTIC WAVES is the musical outlet for Glasgow-based one-man-band, Neil Thomas. Embracing his love of 90s/00s alternative rock/metal, post-hardcore and grunge, Neil takes influences from bands of that era such as Incubus, Far, Deftones and Helmet.
With a nostalgic sound and title that both nod to 90s post-hardcore, QUICKSAND is the lead single from the upcoming Caustic Waves album, ECHOES. Melodic vocals sit atop a Helmet-esque groove of distorted guitar and rhythmic bass, backed by layers of harmonies. The album was produced and mixed by Neil at his home studio in Glasgow, Scotland. After mixing, it was given an extra layer of mastering beef by acclaimed producer Lewis Johns (earthtone9, Employed To Serve, Blanket, Oversize).
