Farside was an Orange County based post-hardcore band whose sound rocked their fans for over a decade. The original line up included Zach de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine but really didn’t find their niche until after he left. The autobiographic concept Rochambeau (Revelation, 1992) revealed Michael “Popeye” Vogelsang’s tortured persona (Hero, Future Days). While even more accomplished, Rigged (Revelation, 1994) seemed to close their story. Instead the band returned after a long hiatus with one of the best hardcore albums of the year, The Monroe Doctrine (Revelation, 1999). This mature work boasts some of their most anthemic melodies yet (Moral Straightjacket, Statues of Snow, The Fashionable Rebellion), semi-acoustic ballads (I Hope You’re Unhappy, The Slowdance), and emotional outbursts (Better Than Crying, Teach Me How To Die). This band defined Orange County punk in their day and their sound lives on through this webpage.

Hey there everyone!! I too am a HUGE Farside fan, and actually used to be good friends with the whole band. I recently had a chance to catch up with Popeye at a Big Drill Car reunion show in H.B. in August. Other notables at this event were Jeff & Todd from Gameface, Jordan Cooper from Revelation records, Even Jacobs from ICE a side project with Popeye, and Noodels & Dexter Holland from Offspring. If anyone of you is into the good shit from back in the day...then you should mosey on by my page here or my radio show's page The Soulcraft. Yes its a Brains reference!!! Also you can visti som eof these other pages as well!!! Thanks!! Stromboli myspace.com/soulcraftradio myspace.com/kssusoulcraft youtube.com/soulcraftradio revebnation.com/soulcraft
