The Aces (formerly The Blue Aces) are an American alternative pop band from Provo, Utah. The band has four members: guitarist Katie Henderson, bassist McKenna Petty, and sisters Alisa Ramirez (drums) and Cristal Ramirez (lead vocals and guitars.)
Their first single as The Aces, "Stuck", was released in 2016, eventually reaching #38 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in late 2017. The band's second single, "Physical", was released in 2017 in advance of their debut EP I Don’t Like Being Honest. The band is signed to Red Bull Records.
Their debut album When My Heart Felt Volcanic was released on April 6, 2018. The Aces worked with six producers on the records, but Dan Gibson and Simon Oscroft were particularly influential, being involved in half of the material.
The Aces joined 5 Seconds of Summer for their Meet You There Tour, in support of their latest album release, Youngblood (2018). Following this tour, they embarked on their own North American headlining tour in support of When My Heart Felt Volcanic, the Waiting For You Tour.
The Aces began when sisters Cristal and Alisa Ramirez were eight years old. Although neither sister could exactly determine when their musical career visions began, the Ramirez sisters were raised in a music loving household where their father would dance salsa with them and their mother played 1980s pop artists like Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson. With a piqued interest, they began to jam out while studying and taking notes from their favorite bands on YouTube.
One Christmas season, the sisters had asked her best friend, McKenna Petty, to ask for a bass for Christmas. Soon after, the trio, all self taught, formed the Blue Aces. They began to jam and experiment in their neighbor's garage. In 2008 the band was officially formed when Petty's friend, Katie Henderson, joined the group. Collectively, The Aces began to sharpen their talents and get their raw exposure throughout high school while performing locally at venues and bars. Over the years, as they expanded their presence within their local music scene they were listed on the “Top 10 Best Bands in Provo” by Provo Buzz and “10 Best Utah Bands You Should Know” by Paste Magazine. In 2014, the girls decided to professionally pursue a musical career after watching 18 year old singer, songwriter Lorde win her first Grammy.
With no industry ties, the girls began their hunt for professional connections first starting by working with accomplished producers. Particularly the key to buzz surrounding them, record label soon came calling for them. In 2016, Red Bull Records signed them.
