Band Profile: Best Pack
Backstory:
Best Pack was formed in the heart of New York City in 2010, initially consisting of four college roommates who found common ground in their shared passion for music. The members were Vincent “Vince” Morland, the charismatic lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Oliver “Ollie” Richardson, the brooding lead guitarist, Daniel “Danny” Evans, the energetic drummer, and Nathan “Nate” Anderson, the soulful bassist. Their bond went beyond their shared room in college, as they slowly honed their craft, infusing their music with their shared experiences, personal stories, and distinct musical backgrounds.
Starting as a cover band playing in local bars and college events, they quickly gained popularity, leading them to create their original compositions. With their breakthrough in 2012, following the release of their EP titled “Unleashed,” Best Pack’s fan base grew rapidly, making them one of the most promising indie rock bands of the decade.
