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.

On episode 161, Greg is joined by Rob Antonucci of Achilles fame to discuss his latest project, Into the Light.

Into the Light is a post-hardcore band that will appeal to fans of Quicksand, but you can also detect influences from bands like Hum, Pixies, Nirvana, and Deftones.

Greg is joined by his Worldpurge bandmate, Sean Bailey, who was in Building on Fire with Rob 20 years ago. Sean provides the necessary technical background to keep up with Rob's substantial guitar knowledge and abilities, which Greg (sadly) lacks.

The group discusses the song writing process and band's influences before moving on to a discussion of the gear, amps, and pedal boards Into the Light employ to create their unique sound.

People who are familiar with Rob's other bands will know that the artwork is as much a part of the finished product as the songs. The guys discuss the symbolism behind the artwork used by Into the Light, and the meaning behind some of the lyrics.

Catch Into the Light at the upcoming Roses are Red reunion show in Rochester, NY on September 21st.

Follow Into the Light on Instagram at @itl_into_the_light and listen to their music on Spotify at https://tr.ee/6rqA-GktHM.
