DJdc Exclusive Interview: The Soft Pack

With our 67th exclusive interview, DeadJournalist.com brings you an interview with another of the hottest up-and-coming bands of 2009: The Soft Pack (formerly known as The Muslims).

To read the full interview, click here: http://www.deadjournalist.com/interviews/20090630thesoftpack.htm

As a little something extra, here's a bonus question not found on the interview:
Is there an artist or album that you especially enjoyed or were inspirited by this decade?

MM: I really liked that Radiohead album In Rainbows. It's more direct and song oriented. It is a relaxing album to play.

Coming This Week: New, Exclusive Interviews

I'm happy to announce that this week will boast the return of our exclusive interviews with two of the best up-and-coming bands in the indie/college rock (whatever you want to call it) world.

Early this week: Cymbals Eat Guitars, the New York-based band

"You could blame it on so many bands being from autophobic NYC, or that the Pacific Northwest gods of indie are still going too strong to already be a primary influence, but neither would explain New York's Cymbals Eat Guitars' Why There Are Mountains. While there's plenty of geographical signifiers on their debut, it's almost topographic in its approach, without hooks and choruses so much as map-like layouts of mountains and sloping valleys." - Pitchfork

"I'll be the first to go on record saying that Cymbals Eat Guitars/Joseph Ferocious will end up indie famous within the year." - Charles Bissel, The Wrens

Later this week: The Soft Pack (formerly The Muslims), the L.A. via San Diego-based band

"They mix a kind of Strokes-y, and therefore VU, detachment and something that bumps in the night like Hell and his Voidoids (or, better yet, Hell and the Heartbreakers doing "Love Comes In Spurts"). You can also hear a bit of the Stooges - not just because the band cites 'em, along with the Replacements, as an inspiration - and early Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers (see "Future Rock," "On My Time," etc). Whatever the mix of forerunners, the Muslims find a way to make it their own -it's kinda uncanny." - Stereogum

Even more interviews coming soon!
