The last release from this California band, who's sound is very indicative of 90's Revelation Records (i.e. Sense Field, Gameface etc.) There are no weak points to this album, Farside busts out fast punk songs and ballads with equal proficiency, the whole time maintaining catchy melodies from instrumentation as well as vocalist Michael "Popeye" Vogelsang. Members of 411, Borderline, Collateral Damage, God Forgot, Hardstance, Headfirst, Ice, Inside Out, Rage Against the Machine, State of the Nation, Triggerman. I haven't been able to listen this album enough. Get with it.
there's a million words
i've been saving for a rainy day,
and a million tricks that i could use,
and i'd use them all at once
if that's what i have to do.

i remember waiting years for this to come out. they sucked live.
any chance of upping their s/t 7" (the one b/tw rigged & this)?
They didn't suck live. I saw them on the Monroe Doctrine tour. That record should have been a cross-over hit.
I just had two MacBook Pros and my iPod stolen in the last couple weeks. This is so much cooler than going to the basement to search through my stacks. Thanks!
ouch. sorry to hear that
couldnt say it enough. thank you for this upload.
Discovered this band just now through this post. Had Moral Straightjacket on repeat all day. Great shit, thanks!
