To celebrate a block of tour dates both as headliners and co-headliners (with Kurt Vile), the Soft Pack has pressed up a tour-only 7-inch, limited to 500 copies.
The group’s co-headlining run stops a day short of Kurt Vile’s scheduled Nov. 14 stop at the Trunk Space in Phoenix, so this piece of vinyl might be hard for anyone in Arizona to acquire. But the good news is the band has made the A-side, GagDad, available as a free download. The song churns for six no-frill minutes, with drummer Brian Hill grinding out the backbone of a beat to push the surf-punk action along.
