Search - Farside :: Monroe Doctrine

Revelation: 69 With the success of their first two full-length releases, Rochambeau and Rigged, as well as their most recent self-titled ep, Farside continues their tradition of talented song-writing with The Monroe Doctrine. Their diverse mixture of punk, post-punk, indie rock and pop melodies is certainly a progression for the band, but it definitely still sounds like Farside. "It's absolutely the best record we've ever done," says vocalist/guitarist Popeye. "If anything, we've gotten more vague." The varied styles and sounds that are spread throughout The Monroe Doctrine's 17 tracks include straight-ahead punk, heavy noise-pop, syrupy emo ballads, power-pop and even a gindcore song. The history of Farside has proven to be one of the noteworthiness and respectability, and The Monroe Doctrine is their newest ad most commanding chapter.
