I lied. THIS is the last regular post I'm writing for this year's Maple Leaf March. I think. I may write more stuff. We'll see.
PACKS is the Toronto-based musical project of Madeline Link - singer, songwriter, guitarist and onetime actor. It wasn't always that way - she started off with a joint venture with her sister, Eva, called Triples - but Madeline left when PACKS became too much of a demand.
There's no acrimony between the sisters, by the way. They're still very close.
PACKS's 2024 album Melt The Honey gives the same Liz Phair/Juliana Hatfield vibes, and it is really good. This is the title song from that set.
Unlike Triples, we have some live material we can share from PACKS.... like this show from 2023, prior to the album release. You can see that Madeline is an excellent, if not a little shy, frontwoman... and that the rich sounds from Packs is not just one person, but a whole band.
