Becky Black and Maya Miller are hardly overnight sensations, but through four albums as the Pack A.D. the duo has been consistently sensational. The Vancouver, B.C., garage-rock duo got their start back in the dark ages of 2007, predating the big wave of rock two-pieces who dared to tiptoe through the footsteps of the White Stripes, the Kills and Black Keys and hitting their stride with their third album “We Kill Computers” (2010). Their teeth-gnashing fury is more drama than sex; you don’t listen to their new song “Big Shot” as much as you are confronted by it. This spring, the duo signed to Nettwerk Records, so it probably won’t be long before the Pack A.D. gets in our face again with a fifth album. Ears will ring.
