...Muslims reminds me of hearing The Feelies and "Roadrunner" by Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers for the first time. Maybe for some of you, listening to The Feelies or the Mod-Lovers for the first time reminded you of when you actually heard the Velvets for the first time. Maybe for some of you listening to The Strokes for the first time...

...Muslims . At a time when the indie vanguard is gripped by experimental electronics, scruffy, lo-fi punk and quasi-spiritual revelry, the band provided a refreshingly simple return to straight-up rock 'n roll.

...Muslims will definitely get a lot of attention for their name, but we're much more interested in the band's catchy, sorta sloppy and stark post-punk-infused rock 'n' roll.

...Muslims were a SXSW/CMJ fav in 2008, bringing a raw brand of straight up rock to the otherwise experimental current indie scene. The Soft Pack is the bands new name , which changed today due to rather vague circumstances .
