San Diego’s The Muslims recently changed their name to The Soft Pack. For this installment of Show Me Your Package, we draw our attention to the band’s self-titled debut 12-inch. While some bands spend thousands of dollars perfecting their cover art, The Soft Pack took the simple road; grab a plain, white cover and shoot it with a .22 caliber pistol. That, my friend, is the essence of rock ‘n’ roll. Luckily, the music contained within the packaging matches the intriguing cover. If you are a fan of The Black Lips, The Night Marchers, or even early Strokes, check this record out. Bold and attention-grabbing artwork; isn’t that one of the goals when it comes to getting your music out to new listeners? Look at this and trim the fat.
