A lot of the new bands that look toward the lo-fi of the ’90s love the aesthetic, but can often forget to write a song to accompany the skuzzy guitars. That’s not a problem for PACKS, so combine ace melodies with their grunty rock ‘n’ roll.
They have a new one out called ‘HFCS’, and we’re not sure what that means. Handily, Madeline Link has been speaking about it and we’re really good at cutting and pasting, so let’s have a delve.
“Why do people gamble? Why do people take leaps of faith? Why do people like winning? Why do people drink coke? Why is corn such a heavily subsidised crop for U.S. farmers? Why are you addicted to that thing you wish you wouldn’t do but that you can’t help but do?”
The new album is out in January and is called ‘Melt The Honey’. We may be no wiser, but it’s fun to listen to and we think the gigs will be good, so stick to what matters, eh?
