The Pack A.D. The Funeral Mix Tape


The Pack A.D. The Funeral Mix Tape (Mint Records)

These 2 ladies from British Columbia really rock. With just voice and guitar (Becky Black) and drums (Maya Miller) you may think about the White Stripes, but the Pack A.D.’s rusty, whisky soaked and pounding sound set the difference. They give the blues a garage echo, like a punkish Janis Joplin. Distant from minimalist, their sound is full, rich and wraps you up.
