This is a two piece female outfit from Vancouver. I discovered them back when iTunes had their free track of the week. They have six albums and two EP's. I believe you can get them all on vinyl as well. The first two they basically ignore as though they never existed, very different from what they currently write; today they are more of a garage-rock/punk White Stripes type band, before they were WAY more bluesy. I have seen them live a few times, and they never disappoint.

Tintype (2007)
Funeral Mixtape (2008)
We Kill Computers (2010)
Unpersons (2011)
Do Not Engage (2014)
Positive Thinking (2016)

EPs
Some Sssongs (2013) (vinyl only I believe-basically a 5 song sampler from 3 of their albums)
Meta Animal (2015) (a couple unreleased tracks)

    "Funeral Mixtape" is a damn good album. Love the guitar and groove throughout it all. They shifted sound after that but still have some catchy shit going on each album...

    it seems that Becky (guitar/vox) has started a new solo side project with a few other musicians. interested to see how this plays out. Pack A.D. sound like they are still a band.
