As a former four-year West Philly resident, I am quite psyched to tell you about Soft People, a friendly and fabulous foursome of West Philly musicians.

Psyched is definitely the correct word to describe their fluid psych-pop with a garage-twinge. They remind me of what my favorite local garage bands in high school would have sounded like if they had all gotten their acts together and did it right. Listenable, blastable, and somewhat danceable, Soft People have staying power.
