The Pack a.d.'s "Unpersons" Named One of The Top Five Canadian Albums of 2011 On Pop Matters

"In the past, the Pack A.D. have generally been known as the kind of gutsy, ramshackle garage punk act that, while a guaranteed good time, still carry very little cerebral resonance. But on Unpersons, the band dives deep into the gutters of their psyche and tell the kind of harsh break-up story we’ve all experienced. Unpersons simply articulates that universal pain, anger and frustration." Read Pop Matters complete list right here.

The Pack a.d.'s "Unpersons" Reviewed On Pop Matters

"Singer/guitarist Becky Black and drummer Maya Miller of Canadian duo the Pack A.D. manage to, uh, pack a lot of meaning into the title of their fourth full-length, Unpersons. In the broadest sense, they subsume their identities for the great glory of being in a kickass band, and in the process place themselves in the pantheon of messy garage punk ‘n’ blues ‘n’ roll." Visit Pop Matters now for the complete review of "Unpersons," and just in case you missed it last time around, their latest video "Take" is up there as well!

High Scores For The Pack a.d.'s "Unpersons" On Blurt!

"Like the name of the album implies, Unpersons is the deconstruction of the artists the Pack A.D. have become and of the music they create to their barest, simplest beauty. While other girl groups may bury themselves in flashy glitter and Auto Tune perfection, singer/guitarist Becky Black and drummer Maya Miller are rustic, raw, honest, and really damn entertaining. They're leather-jackets-messy-hair-take-us-as-we-are rock prodigies who continue to silence the stale comparisons that have hunted them since their birth in the prime season of 2006's game-changers."

Download The Pack a.d.'s "Sirens" Now On Buzz Bands

"They’ve kept their fourth album, “Unpersons” (made with producer Jim Diamond, who worked with the White Stripes, Detroit Cobras and Dirtbombs) no less brash, and certainly every bit as dark, given the overriding theme that our digital identities are not really identities at all. Here, mostly, it’s delivered with acidic bombast. We can relate." Read the complete review and download "Sirens" on Buzz Bands.

The Pack a.d.'s "Unpersons" Reviewed On Stereo Subversion

"The Pack aren’t trying to change the world through song, they’re trying to make you rock out. I appreciate that. Just pure straight forward rock and roll designed to get you out on the floor with a drink in your hand. That said, the Pack A.D. seem like the kind of band best experienced live — the best quality of Unpersons is how raw and live it feels, a quality I’m sure is only magnified on stage." Click on over for the full review of The Pack a.d.'s Unpersons over on Stereo Subversion.

Stream The Pack a.d.’s "Unpersons" In Full On CMJ

"Rock duos are pumping out bluesy hits left and right, but the two ladies of the Pack A.D. are hoping to leave comparisons to the Kills and the White Stripes in their rear-view mirror with the release of their fourth studio album Unpersons—if only they had a rear-view mirror. After a grueling tour schedule (157 shows in 2009 alone), drummer Maya Miller and vocalist/guitarist Becky Black returned from France to find that their tour bus Falcon was no longer. However, even without a van, the Pack A.D. is going somewhere." Listen to "Unpersons" now over on CMJ.

The Owl Mag Reviews The Pack a.d.'s Latest “Unpersons”

"The Pack A.D.'s fourth album is the equivalent of a satisfactory slap to an ex's face. The album confronts the illusion of safety and stability in a relationship, dissecting a life gone wrong. Becky Black's vocals are seething and poisonous one minute and fraught with despair the next." Read The Owl Mag's full review of The Pack a.d.'s Unpersons right here.

The Pack a.d. unveils the lead single off their upcoming album!


Mint Recording Artists from Vancouver, The Pack a.d. , are getting set to release their new album Unpersons and are celebrating by revealing the album cover and offering up the first single "Sirens" as a free download.
From the band: "Sirens" original name was Hoot as in literally what I am doing in the chorus. Then I wrote the lyrics and it became about an ancient undersea monster. But you needn't fear because Becky's back has wings.
