Ever had a job where you just slacked off and spent all day eating too much, smoking out the back, chillaxing with your friends, irritating your co-workers and being generally half-hearted about the tasks at hand?
Well, you're not on your own. And to prove it, Californian indie-rockers The Soft Pack have dedicated a whole video to the art of slacking at your place of business.They do it with such aplomb in "Answer To Yourself." We can only assume they have real-life experience with such matters (not that we'd ever point fingers or anything)...
Is anyone else hungry for pizza and mop-fights now? (Not simultaneously, you understand...)

"Answer To Yourself" is taken from The Soft Pack's exceedingly cool self-titled album, which came out last month on Kemado Records. (PS if The Soft Pack sounds familiar it's probably because they used to be called The Muslims but changed their name to one decidedly more PC.)
Once they get back from their current stint in Europe, they'll be hitting Austin's South By Southwest shindig mid-March (stay tuned for coverage of the week-long party), before heading out for a full US tour. Apparently, they're not so slack afterall...
