No. 57: The Soft Pack


The Soft Pack is a fast paced indie/rock/punk garage band from San Diego. Their songs are fairly simple but have some catchy hooks. They do have an older punk sound which they've said in interviews is what there going for. I'm not a huge fan of their lyrics. One of their most popular songs is "Answer to Yourself." Here are the first few lines.

"You gotta answer to yourself
You can't depend on anyone else
You gotta know where you stand
And what's in your hands
Yeah you gotta answer to yourself "

Just doesn't seem like much thought was put into the lyrics. They have one album which is self titled and it wouldn't be if they kept their old band name. These guys used to be called The Muslims but not shockingly got too much flack and changed their names. They will be playing on Saturday at 12:30 on the Budweiser stage. I may catch them but would not go out of my way. I think The Morning Benders who are playing earlier Saturday should have had this spot.
