The Pack A.D. — Funeral Mixtape

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) August 13, 2008 9:40 am
Funeral Mixtape begins with a yowl and ends with a whimpered apology — an aesthetic that's becoming an increasingly good descriptor for The Pack A.D.'s sound. The album title is a bit morbid (who makes a mixtape for a funeral?) but in the end, rather apt. Emotions are varied — but always run high — ranging from a repeated...

The Pack A.D. @ CMW 2008

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) March 8, 2008 3:30 pm
ACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: This female duo from the west coast play stripped-down, nitty-gritty, blues-infused garage rock. Grade: 80 Comment:The Pack A.D. draw a lot of comparisons to The White Stripes — some of it for a good reason. They're a duo who play raw, bare-bones, distorted guitar rock, but the comparison falls...

The Pack A.D. — Tintype

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) January 22, 2008 9:01 pm
Pack A.D. singer/guitarist Becky Black seems to think she's Muddy Waters and there's really no reason to disagree with her. It takes a select breed of individual to make the blues sound good, and whatever the traits required, Black and her drummer bandmate Maya Miller seem to fit the bill. Tintype was originally released in early 2007...

Kasabian celebrated the end of their tour in support of last year's West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum by gatecrashing two weddings with Noel Gallagher. We're guessing there was plenty of booze involved and the language got quite... appropriately filthy. —The Sun My Morning Jacket, R.E.M. and Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom...

Song Of The Day: The Pack A.D.'s "B.C. Is On Fire"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) August 13, 2010 12:23 pm
The reverb and delay-filled "B.C. Is On Fire" appears on The Pack A.D.'s recently released third album, We Kill Computers. The fog of Becky Black's guitar makes it sound like she and Maya Miller are watching one of British Columbia's infamous forest fires through a haze of smoke... and they're just watching it burn.

Plants And Animals' La La Land Hits #1

By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) April 28, 2010 10:36 am
It appears the city of Montreal continues to have a stranglehold on the campus charts. After a month with The Besnard Lakes holding the top spot, Plants And Animals' La La Land shoves Are The Roaring Night out of the #1 spot. With its rise to #1 this week, La La Land has gone where no other Plants And Animals album has before. The band's...

Becky Black and Maya Miller spend their time hanging out on the same couch at multiple venues (one of which looks like Canada's Wonderland in Vaughn, Ont.) in The Pack A.D.'s video for "Deer." The best part? Gotta be the computer smashing. Yeah! Fuck technology! (Says the internet journalist.) "Deer" appears on We Kill...

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) April 19, 2010 4:19 pm
This is The Pack A.D.'s third full-length in as many years, but they took their longest between-album break yet before churning out We Kill Computers. The seeds of this record were sewn on the road. After seeing most of the country while playing a whopping 157 shows in 2009, Becky Black and Maya Miller came to the realization that "...

The Pack A.D.'s hilarious clip for "Blackout" places them in the CBC Radio 3 studio, where they're being "interviewed" by Grant Lawrence. In actuality, he's just talking about himself and boring the crap out of them. When Lawrence runs out to get a tea, singer/guitarist Becky Black and drummer Maya Miller split and wander...

I'm on a quest to hear great music until the first few days of spring at the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, and I intend to do it without spending a penny on food.

If you've been listening to the rumours that trail Vancouver's wildest garage/blues duo, The Pack A.D., you wouldn't be out of line thinking their lives are nothing but grit, grime and booze-fuelled bedlam. The truth is somewhat less scandalous. "We're driving to Halifax right now — from Fredericton," says singer/guitarist Becky Black...

Vancouver blues-rock twosome The Pack A.D. will release their Tintype debut album on Jan. 22 through Mint Records. Guitarist/vocalist Becky Black and drummer Maya Miller's roughshod blues-based music presents a bit of a shift in style for Mint, which typically signs more upbeat mixed gender pop bands like The New Pornographers, Immaculate...
