The Pack A.D.
Gritty, high-velocity garage rock that hits like a heavyweight. Massive riffs and cinematic sci-fi lyrics delivered with a two-piece punch. Perfect for late nights.

The Pack A.D. sounds like a controlled explosion in a small room. It is the sound of two people making more noise than a five-piece band, anchored by Becky Black's thick, overdriven guitar riffs and Maya Miller's thunderous, intentional drumming. There is a specific kind of Vancouver gloom here, a rainy-day grit that separates them from the sun-drenched garage rock of California.
What makes them truly distinctive is their intellectual curiosity. While their peers might write about typical rock tropes, this duo pulls from science fiction, horror cinema, and literature. Their music feels cinematic and slightly dangerous, like a chase scene in a dystopian film. The vocals shift between a soulful bluesy rasp and a sharp, punk-inflected snarl that cuts through the wall of distortion.
Start with 'Unpersons' or 'Do Not Engage' to hear them at their most potent. These albums capture the transition from their raw, blues-heavy roots into a more expansive, psychedelic, and punchy rock sound that defines their mid-career peak.
The Pack A.D. is a Canadian garage rock group from Vancouver, British Columbia. They are known for mixing garage rock with an eclectic variety of genre influences including pop, punk, psychedelic, polka, new wave, and blues.
