Muslims Jihad Their Name To Soft Pack...

Guest Blogger

Did someone issue a fatwa issues against San Diego quartet the Muslims or were they just tired of all the bad PR their namesakes have been getting as of late? Either way, the newly re-christened Soft Pack have chosen a rather namby pamby name for a band we’ve seen bring the rock.

From their myspace page:

WE HAVE CHANGED THE NAME OF OUR GROUP TO “THE SOFT PACK”. Working on new material and firing on all four cylinders, we feel strongly about this one. It’s a new chapter in our lives and hopefully yours. Stay tuned to The Soft Pack page (www.myspace.com/thesoftpack), as we will be posting new videos, music, and junk in the coming weeks. We are pumped. Have a great Thanksgiving and keep it loose. Your buddies, The Soft Pack.

sounds like they changed their name while standing in line at 7-11.

"Yea, I'll take a Big Gulp and a Soft Pack of Pall Mall cigarettes" - [light bulb appears above head]

Pall Mall is sponsoring their next tour...jk

#3 brother mayhem says:

why not just name yourselves "Jump The Shark" ?

#4 The Fonz says:

Sorry, Jump The Shark's been taken. By the band formerly known as Played Out.

Fucking politically correct pussies.

"Make the world a better place and punch an indie band member in the face...repeatedly."

#6 Tim says:

Well at least we can blame the Americans rather than the Muslims for this one...

"When we started the band, the name meant absolutely nothing to us and grew to become something we couldn't stand. We were disgusted with and exhausted by all of the ignorant, often racist, bullshit that came out of people's mouths during shows/interviews/conversations."
