The Pack A.D.
[gigpress_shows scope=upcoming artist=118 limit=10]
Maya Miller and Becky Black of Vancouver’sThe Pack A.D. are the hardest working gals we know. They’ve been on the road non-stop since March (SXSW), traveling in the Falcon (their van) all across the USA, playing 84 shows in 95 days. Each show winning them new friends and fans.
They’re doing it old school and it’s all about their fans.
How does old school work? “We tour like hell, and if you like us, then you tell your friends. Then your friends tell their friends and so on and before you know it, you’ve made the band. ” They’re not interested in being the flavor of the month.
Now back in Vancouver, The Pack A.D. are busy putting together another album during the winter, we will keep you posted on their progress. Another great Vancouver music indie band you NEED to check out.
The Packs upcoming concert events.
Lord almighty, do they rock – in a gritty, unhinged, kind-of frightening manner.
–Ben Rayner (Toronto Star)
Black spits gritty lyrics and moans like she’s spent her last dollar on cheap whiskey. The guitar-driven, aggressive rhythms move between desperation and seduction, and just when you start to settle into Black’s smooth riffs, Miller’s pounding kick pedal erupts with well-timed ferocity.
–Emma McKenna (Now Magazine)
The Pack A.D., a Vancouver blues-punk duo that proves you don’t need a bulging package to play the devil’s music. You do need balls, though. And drummer Maya Miller and guitarist-vocalist Becky Black are packing some pretty serious gonads—musically speaking, of course
–Sarah Rowland (The Georgia Straight)
Let us count the ways that the Pack A.D. hates you. Black belts out the words, Miller pounding away on drums. “Don’t Have To”, arguably the single from Funeral Mixtape is a no-holds-barred admittance to not being nice girls. Lyrics bounce between not having to like people for the nice things they do, to not having to like them because of the bad things that happen to them. It’s this sort of we-don’t-need-you-anyways charm that makes the otherwise approachable Pack A.D. just inaccessible enough to be desirable.
