Calling Hours, a new melodic punk band featuring veterans from hardcore greats Farside and Don't Sleep have just announced their new album for Revelation Records called "Say Less" along with the new single 'Curtain Call' from the forthcoming LP. For someone who's been a fan of Farside since the 90s and a fan of Don't Sleep as well, I was eager to hear what this collaboration would sound like, and thankfully, it's pretty much what I was hoping for. First of all, Popeye Vogelsang of Farside is on vocal duty and he still sounds just as good as he did 25+ years ago. The song is melodic and catchy in the same way Farside was, with chunky guitar chords and Popeye's crisp vocals and solid back up harmonies, a throwback to the melodic pop punk that came out of the 90s, while still sounding current all at once. Definitely excited to hear the rest of these songs, and my guess is this will be full of ear worms. The full press release can be read below, along with the video for the latest single and pre-order to the for new album.
