PACKS is an emerging indie rock project that captures the raw and unvarnished essence of life through a lo-fi lens, led by the Toronto-based musician Madeline Link. Their music offers a blend of introspective lyricism, slacker-rock influences, and a subtle but poignant use of melody that resonates with a sense of both ennui and self-discovery. Since their inception, PACKS has carved out a unique space within the indie scene, offering reflections on the minutiae of daily life with a poetic grace that belies the often-casual delivery of their songs.

While their discography encompasses an array of songs that vary in tone and intensity, recent tracks like "HFCS" and "Honey" continue to exhibit the band’s penchant for crafting tracks that are simultaneously catchy and thoughtful. With a sound that combines elements of '90s alternative rock with a modern DIY spirit, PACKS has struck a chord with listeners who appreciate music that can be both disarming and emotionally potent. Tracks such as “Crispy Crunchy Nothing” and “Brown Eyes” showcase the band's ability to fuse melodic hooks with a laid-back, almost conversational vocal style. The group’s creative output continues to evolve, making PACKS a band to watch for those who find beauty in the raw edges of the indie music tapestry.
