Its members were multi-instrumentalists Graeme Fleming (electric guitar), Joachim Toelke (drums/percussion), and Phil Stewart-Bowes (bass guitar). The trio formed in 1997, began playing live in 1998, and went on to release two recordings on the Turnbuckle label. (The label was also home to noise rockers Bailter Space). Their self-titled 1998 EP/mini album (also known as 33) was supposedly recorded in a ski chalet. Southpacific soon relocated to the more musically-fertile community of Toronto. Their full-length album Constance was recorded in early to mid 1999, and made it to stores in early 2000.
Southpacific's guitar-oriented music was generally psychedelic in nature and filled with reverb, yet at times contained sheets of noise and heavy drumming. Their music was highly recording studio-intensive, using many layers of guitar tracks and subtle samples to create a dense overall sound. This drew the band comparisons to Sonic Youth, early Verve, Slowdive, Mogwai, and My Bloody Valentine. However, only one of the band's songs ("Built To Last") had vocals, making the band favorites of post-rock and ambient music aficionados. The band never released any singles.

Such an awesome feel to this album to this day...still wish there was some moody lyrics sometimes as a b-side....like 1 disc is instrumental...the 2nd disk is with lyrics...would have been awesome

That would've been interesting. I remember how taken aback I was the first time I heard 'Built to Last' because it actually has vocals on it.
Did you hear their new single they put out a few months ago? It's pretty good. Can't wait to hear the next stuff they release later this year.

Anyone know of any bands or songs that are similar to Constance or their EP 33? This band is awesome.

Bowery Electric - Beat (especially "empty word" feels like this song. Overall the album is less noisy, but the tone is very similar and they have trip-hop influence among others)
