Custom For those seeking no-frills, back-to-basics rock, look no further than San Diego’s the Soft Pack. The foursome were the center of controversy with their original band name, the Muslims, but the press they’re receiving now from publications like the Los Angeles Times and Pitchfork is all about the music.
