Thrice - Blood Clots and Black Holes

Quicksand - Head to Wall

What other instances can you think of?

I really like aggressive noisy bare bones guitar like drive like jehu, at the drive in, and fugazi. Anytime I’ve had a teacher they didn’t really like the same stuff so I was wondering if anyone had recommendations. It’s just tricky learning a lot of this stuff by ear and tabs don’t help much cuz a lot of ‘em suck

I feel like they really had all the pieces you need for success as a rock band. Not that they weren't successful, but I think they could've been a household name given what was popular when they first came out. The big 4 grunge bands as well as TOOL, Deftones, and SOAD were all doing well around this time and Quicksand fits perfectly among those bands. I hear them described as post hardcore but I think they could equally be considered alternative metal. They had a lot going for them in terms of widespread appeal. Their sound was pretty easy to grasp for casual listeners, but there was plenty to pick apart lyrically and instrumentally for more deep listeners.
