The Soft Pack

The Soft Pack is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Friendly Fires and Warren Zevon. Those roots explain a lot about how The Soft Pack arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Orwells, Milburn, Black Lips, Surfer Blood and Dirty Pretty Things, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into White Lies and Nada Surf, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 26 connections around The Soft Pack, reaching back through Friendly Fires and forward to White Lies.
