FARSIDE was a hardcore punk band from Orange County, CA, founded in 1989. Their sound was a mixture of the late 80's post-hardcore (DAG NASTY, HUSKER DU and THE DESCENDANTS were big influences), 90's alternative metal (HELMET, QUICKSAND) and the power-pop sensibilities of the late '70s (Elvis Costello), and as a result the band never quite fit in on any bill they were booked to play. This resulted in the band never being completely definable which suited the members just fine. Many current bands have cited FARSIDE as an influence and it’s clear that while they never made a huge splash on the 90's alternative scene their music left a lasting impression on their dedicated and loyal fan base. The band officially called it quits in 2000. Vocalist Michael "Popeye" Vogelsang is currently a member of the band YOUR FAVORITE TRAINWRECK and has recently been performing acoustically at the Revelation Records 25th Anniversary shows.
