Editorial Reviews

A brief synopsis of The Soft Pack's meteoric rise: a duo writing songs in California at the dawn of 2008 goes on to supporting The Breeders, Last Of The Shadow Puppets and Bloc Party as a quartet, and release two attention-grabbing singles, "Night Life" and "Extinction", that same year. They were the toast of CMJ in 2008 and South By Southwest in 2009, then toured alongside Franz Ferdinand, Phoenix, White Lies and Black Lips in 2009, and delivered the limited edition 12 inch Muslims EP to much chatter in March 2009.

Stunning!

February 3, 2010

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

This is definitely one of the most refreshing releases in a while. The Soft Pack, a band from the west coast has made it with a stunning album. Parasites, great song by the way, had been airing on alternative radio stations for months but it was nowere available. It is finally included along with 9 more great songs. This self titled album has a poweful combination of rough, basic, unpretentious sound. Back to the roots. Hey, and heads up ... they're giving us for free (for a limited time?) the complete MP3 download of "answer to yourself", which I think is the album's definitive favorite, so go for it while still available, but I'd recommend to get the whole album. Way to go, guys!

Powerpop pleasure

Made a nice discovery with The Soft Pack today. Energetic and well played, this album entertains with consistent energy throughout. I find some similarities with early (and rocking) REM, both in their harmonies and energy, but there are also hints of alt rock (Aztec Camera, Cure,), surf punk, ska, 60s garage rock... this album has a lot to offer. Every song has a great hook, such that it's easier to remember the music than it is the name of the band.

Like Garage Rock? Love the Soft Pack!!

March 31, 2010

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

Wow! I downloaded this album about one week ago. Now I'm hooked. This release represents what Rock n' roll is all about. Uptempo, raw, gritty production and no-holds barred pop. I do not like to make comparisons with other bands, but somethimes it is a necesary evil. These guys have learned from Ted Leo and the Buzzcocks that you can get your point across in a 2-3 minute catchy pop tune. Great find and Highly recommended!!

A Soft Pack at a decent price!

Soft Pack? Yep that's their name which they changed from something real stupid to even mention. The music is your basic three chord Garage rock but nothing real ground breaking but what is? I like it.
If you like this genre of music, take a chance on Soft Pack.

Return of the Surf Rock

March 12, 2010

Format: Audio CD

Good to hear that some young dudes in the US are listening to some good old garage rock with their guitar amps turned to 11 on the treble/reverb. Guys who like music but could probably work with you in the office doing some boring desk job, but with a side that not everyone at the workplace knows about.

The Drums have had some success with their phenomenal single "Let's Go Surfing". Album is good, but at times too poppy. Surfer Blood will be discussed in a later post about their great "Astro Coast" album. Their "Swim" single is currently riding high in the Explorer 23.

Two weeks ago the Soft Pack played a very short and energetic show in the Paradiso upstairs room (That's in Amsterdam). 40 minutes, almost no breaks, loud and fast and with no encore. That is rock and roll like it should be.

Their self-titled debut-album is a wonderful collection of garagesurfrock. Starting with the single 'C'mon' (sing along everyone!) and 9 other great tracks the album clocks just over half an hour. Perfect length for this type of music. There's great rhythm and some nice twangy guitar riffs. And of course the surf-organ is present adding some authenticity to the record.

Garage Rock and surf rock prop up about every 15 years and it's good to see that a music style that is based on just a few chords and an abundance of energy still lasts and is still reinvented to fit the 21st century. Drums, Soft Pack and Surfer Blood are certainly doing that. Going to be the summer of surf!

Midnight To Six

Decent, but doesn't warrant the hype

December 22, 2015

Format: Audio CD

**Review originally appeared at https://midnighttosix.wordpress.com

The Soft Pack have been hyped in the music press for some time now. The San Diego foursome have been the subject of NME articles dating back over a year prior to this debut release, when they were still known as The Muslims – a name that they were wise to drop. Over the past decade we’ve seen a lot bands live up to the pre-debut hype (The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, Franz Ferdinand), and others who couldn’t (is anyone still listening to The Vines?) and lost whatever forward momentum the press had given them. So, the obvious question is “where do the Soft Pack stand in all of this”? Do they deserve all this hype? The answer is a rather tricky one, I’m afraid. The album is an attack of taught rhythms, concise high-energy songs, and brash singing. Certainly they’ve written ten very good songs, and it’s hard to find anything to dislike in the half hour the albums plays for. I especially like the way singer Matt Lamkin works a few Ian MacKaye moves into his vocals and how the band goes for a Dischord-style sound on “Pull Out” (perhaps the work of producer, and DC-scene alumnus Eli Janney). The only problem is that, for the most part, they stick too closely to the Strokes template to make a big impact. I’d imagine that to the casual listener several of the songs (especially “Answer To Yourself”, “C’mon” and “More or Less”) could be passed off as holdovers from the sessions for Is This It, if slightly more punky and aggressive. If this was 2001-2003, when there was a ravenous demand for anything even remotely related to The Strokes, I’d say it would make the album a surefire success; but it seems a little out of step with where music is at in 2010. That may put the Soft Pack’s ability to catch on with the public at a bit of a disadvantage, but it shouldn’t take away from their music, which is fun, confident and probably better than anything the bands who influenced them are capable of putting out this year.
