Episode 165 - Michael "Popeye" Vogelsang (Calling Hours/Farside)

The Hardcore Archive Podcast

On episode of 165 of the Hardcore Archive Podcast, Greg is joined by Michael "Popeye" Vogelsang of Calling Hours and Farside.

Greg and Popeye discuss his introduce to hardcore in the 1980s, experiences he had attending hardcore shows in Orange County, and the influence early California hardcore bands like Hard Stance had on him.

The discussion also includes how Farside came together, notable shows that the band played, other notable bands that Farside shared members with, and how the band came to be affiliated with Revelation Records.

The conversation takes a detour from hardcore to discuss Popeye's work doing voice over work, and his career as a voice actor. Fun fact: if you have ever played through The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or Fallout 4, you are already familiar with his voice work.

Greg and Popeye shift back to discussing hardcore, and we hear about Popeye's move from California to Pennsylvania, how Calling Hours came together, notable shows Calling Hours has played in recent months, and a tour of Europe Calling Hours is currently on with @BeWellHC.

This is great episode for fans of late 80s and early 90s hardcore, and for those of us who love classic @RevelationRecords bands, and confused fans of the Gary Larson comic who came to the wrong place.

This episode features two tracks after the credits from up and coming Rochester, NY hardcore bands. The first track is "The Squirming Mass of Teeth and Hair" by Debatably Stable. Debatably Stable will appeal to fans of post-hardcore bands like At the Drive In and Refused. The second track is "Overdose" by Deep Disdain. Deep Disdain will appeal to fans of beatdown and heavy hardcore.
