The Soft Pack – Strapped

The Soft Pack – Strapped (Mexican Summer)

Anyone who’s shared company with me and beer knows that I delight in discussing weird sex-related topics. Like-minded folks out there, rejoice: I just learned that a ‘soft pack’ is a squishy dildo designed for transgendered folks who want to come off as men. Hopefully this comforts those who were dismayed when San Diego’s The Muslims changed their name back in 2008. Their self-titled 2010 debut full-length as The Soft Pack was actually quite solid, but perhaps a bit too ‘missionary’ for those like me who prefer their rock ’n’ roll a bit kinkier. Like-minded folks out there, rejoice: though Strapped doesn’t keep it up for the entire record, it does find them experimenting, and occasionally hitting just the right spot.
