The Aces – The Soundhouse, Dublin: 17th November 2018.
The Aces are an American alternative all-female band from Provo, Utah. The band comprises of four members: guitarist Katie Henderson, bassist McKenna Petty, and sisters drummer Alisa Ramirez and lead vocalist and guitarist Cristal Ramirez.
The Aces are a soft rock, chill and groovy band. They’re pretty much an ’80s pop classic rock undertones band revolutionised, they will most likely remind you of HAIM, their songs are also reminiscent to Paramore too. The Aces have grown a huge fanbase after they supported 5 Seconds of Summer this year, now they’ve taken their own tour across Europe with an even bigger fanbase.
The lead singer, Cristal Ramirez, has a remarkable and electrifying stage presence, with strong vocals and guitar playing. The buoyant guitar notes and punchy drum beats in the back gave the band an overall great sound. They flowed really well on stage, but that’s no surprise as they have been making music together for 10 years now.
The Aces gave off a high energy performance with iconic guitar riffs and drumbeats. It’s no surprise they’re selling out the majority of the dates on their tour. The band has garnered massive critical acclaim with this debut album, if you’re looking for a new band to follow, this Utah quartet should be the next band you should listen to because they’re just going to keep getting bigger and better.
