The Pack A.D. - "Making Gestures"

The Pack A.D. are a garage-rock duo from Vancouver, BC, formed in 2006. The Pack A.D. consists of singer/songwriter/guitarist Becky Black and drummer/songwriter Maya Miller and have been compared to the likes of The White Stripes, The Kills, and The Black Keys. These girls have embraced the blues/rock tradition of often using a combination of rhythm and lead guitar with a steady drum beat.
The Pack A.D.’s second album Funeral Mixtape was released August 12th 2008 under Mint Records and recorded live off the floor to analog tape at The Hive Studios. The album perfectly encapsulates the intensity and warmth of The Pack A.D.'s music. It consists of 11 tracks in the same blues rock style as their first album, Tintype.
Becky Black's vocals have been compared to Janis Joplin, and the combined duo's live show to long established acts like The Black Keys.

A guitar-drum howling-blues duo, Becky Black and Maya Miller of the Pack are clearly meant to play together...The whole beautiful mess (of Tintype) will have uptown turkeys running in terror back to their Eric Clapton "blues" CDs.
