It&#8217;s called We Kill Computers and it&#8217;s by The Pack A.D. It&#8217;s a girl duo consisting of Becky Black and Maya Miller from Vancouver. It sounds alot like if The White Stripes and The Black Keys got together and had a baby, but that baby looks more like the White Stripes than the Black Keys. That baby&#8217;s siblings are also The Kills and The Gossip. Wouldn&#8217;t you like to meet this baby?<\/p>\n<p>Pack A.D. is loud, edgy without being noisy and obnoxious. It&#8217;s got a grungy, unpolished Jack White-ish guitar riffs along with Meg White-esque simple and clean drums. The opening of Pack&#8217;s Crazy is reminescent of the Stripes&#8217; The Hardest Button to Button and Pack&#8217;s Everyone Looks Like Everyone has hints of Stripes&#8217; My Doorbell. The vocals on Cobra Matte sound like Amanda Palmer from The Dresden Dolls and she&#8217;s super awesome. Even without all the similarities, it&#8217;s an awesome album that you should seriously check out. Tune in to wdcvfm.com and 88.3 to hear it played all the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So my friends at Pirate sent me this awesome album that I can&#8217;t get enough of currently.
