A home for local music, built by the people who love it.
Stanley's been saying this for years – when a community owns the platform, the platform looks after the community.
The Pack is a co-operative community built around one simple idea: the people who make local music and the people who love it should own the thing that connects them. No outside shareholders. No exit strategy that sells out the scene. Just members, voting on what matters.
We run a fair streaming model because the existing ones don't. Every subscription dollar is split by what that person actually played – 70 cents goes directly to those artists, and the rest keeps the co-op running and reinvests in the music ecosystem.
The Pack has a home wherever people care about the sounds made right around them. Human curation, local discovery, and a business model that puts the community first.
