Jammerzine Exclusive: An Interview with Pacific

As I said in our recent review of Pacific’s latest release titled ‘Clarity’, this band is on an evolutionary road with their music. That is a unique process, to say the least. And not just in music. You are literally examining yourself and making yourself the best you can be. That can be said of Pacific as a band. They are truly evolving. The makings of this and a glimpse of where Pacific is headed are detailed in this latest interview I did with the band from Manchester. In our first interview a few years ago, we discussed how the band formed and where they were headed at the time. This time around, we see some of those results and reflect on how the band has evolved over the last few years. Let this be both an example and a lesson for those artists at the start of their journey.

Pacific’s music has additionally gained support from Manchester football clubs; the band’s song ‘Dream of Mine’ has frequented Premier League match playlists at Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium, with Pacific’s music videos also on heavy rotation on Manchester United’s TV channel MUTV. The band has performed at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium as Premier League pre-match entertainment, and there has also been backing from Gary Neville-owned Salford City FC, who have used Pacific’s song ‘Blinded’ across all their social media video content.
