The Soft Pack

Lets get something out of the way. Yes, the Soft Pack was the band formerly known as the Muslims. It’s the exact same band. And no matter what you feel about the name change, its here to stay and has nothing to do with their San Diego beach-brand of easy garage punk. So get over it!

Talk about missing your moment. This debut album proper from San Diego's The Soft Pack (formerly known, somewhat misguidedly, as The Muslims) feels like it's missed the boat by about 10 months, what with a whole new bunch of hyped bands occupying the column inches.
