Show Me Your Package: The Soft Pack (Previously Known As The Muslims)
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.
