1. … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least other six different artists called The Aces.
1. The Aces are an all-girl band originating from Provo, Utah. The band formed over a decade ago when sisters Cristal Ramirez (vocals, guitar) and Alisa Ramirez (drums) recruited their childhood best friends McKenna Petty (bass) and Katie Henderson (guitar, backup vocals). They began performing as The Blue Aces at various local venues. Being from a conservative hometown allowed them to play at most venues in their town as alcohol was prohibited in these venues. They wrote many original songs attempting to follow other alternative rock bands but ultimately they were able to find their own alternative pop sound. They shortened their name to The Aces and independently released their first hit single "Stuck" in May of 2016. The band signed with Red Bull Records at the end of that year. In mid 2017 they released their first EP "I Don't Like Being Honest". Their debut full length album, "When My Heart Felt Volcanic", was released on April 6th, 2018 through Red Bull Records. Their second full length album "Under My Influence" was originally supposed to be released on June 12th, 2020. However, on June 7, the band announced that the album would be delayed in response to the George Floyd protests. The band eventually released the album on July 17, 2020.
2. The Aces was one of the earliest and most influential of the electric Chicago blues band in the 1950s. Led by guitarist brothers Louis Myers and Dave Myers, natives of Byhalia, Mississippi, the brothers originally performed under the name "the Little Boys"; with the subsequent addition of harpist Junior Wells, they rechristened themselves the Three Deuces, followed by the Three Aces. The 1950 enlistment of drummer Fred Below prompted another name change, this time to the Four Aces; finally, to simplify matters once and for all, the group performed as just The Aces. Influenced in large part by jazz, they developed an urbane, sophisticated style well ahead of its time; in particular, Below's refined rhythms led to the rise of the blues shuffle beat, and helped launch the drums to a new prominence within the blues band.
In 1952, Wells quit to join the Muddy Waters band, filling the vacancy created by the recent departure of harpist Little Walter; ironically, Walter himself quickly signed the remaining Aces as his new backing unit, renaming the trio first as Little Walter and the Nightcats and then the Jukes to capitalize on his current hit single "Juke". A series of seminal recordings followed -- "Mean Old World", "Sad Hours", "Off the Wall", and "Tell Me Mama" among them -- before Louis' 1954 exit resulted in the Jukes' gradual dissolution as Little Walter's band, but freeing up the members to reform as a backing band for other Chicago blues artists such as Otis Rush and others.
In the late 1950s Dave Myers switched from guitar to the electric bass, becoming one of the first Chicago bluesmen to adopt this relatively new instrument, and helping to popularize it in Chicago blues. During the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s the original Aces reunited on numerous occasions for recordings, tours, and festival gigs.
3. London based Mod group. Recorded - One way street, single.
Charlie Casey (Bass) Steve Tannett (Guitar) Noel Martin (Drums).
After "Menace" split up at the end of 1978, the last remaining members start "The Aces". The title track is a brilliant song. They also had recorded another single as "Vermillion & The Aces" with an american girl on
4. The band comprise the imposing figure of Sky O’Banion on lead vocals and harmonica, Derek Irving (lead guitar and sitar) and Mike Gutsch (drums), with the rhythm guitar work shared on the ten tracks between Bob Welsh and Chris Anderson – together they create an intense wall of sound that grabs you from the start and doesn’t let go!
Inspired by lo fi blues music, The Aces create a sound all their own using two guitars, harp/vocals and drums. Fronted by vocalist and harmonica player Sky O'Banion and guitarist Derek Irving, The Aces push the limits of their own musical creativity. Wailing harmonica, distorted vocals, hypnotic guitar lines, pounding rhythms and stream of consciousness lyrics take you on a musical journey where the sound will charge you.
It’s probably the rawest, most energetic blues since the late, great Lester Butler and his band, The Red Devils, burst out of LA in the early 1990s’ – The Aces work on some of the same templates – blasting harmonica, down home guitar and the same driving rhythms, but with The Aces powered by low-tuned second guitar as opposed to a conventional bass player.
5. A Reggae Band which were the best known for their work for reggae legend Desmond Dekker, but released recordings by themselves.
6. The Aces may also refer to a group from Burma.

Try to sleep at night
Lost for the moment
I've tried to find
It's the same thing every time
It's some kind of magic
Between you and I
But I gotta be honest, baby
Set it up
Spin me round
We're just physical
Oh oh oh oh oh
We're just physical
Turn me on
Turn it up
Unemotional
Every single time
Oh oh oh oh oh
We're just physical
Oh oh oh oh oh

Not a friend, not a lover
Try to act like it's fine
I've read it cover to cover, baby
You know I'm right
It's the same thing every time
Set it up
Spin me round
We're just physical
Oh oh oh oh oh
We're just physical
Turn me on
Turn it up
Unemotional
Every single time
Oh oh oh oh oh
We're just physical

The lyrics of The Aces' song Physical express a relationship that is based on physical attraction as opposed to emotional connection. The singers try to change their bad habits and sleep at night but cannot find what they are looking for. They feel lost in the moment and try to make the magic work between them, but it just doesn't happen. They admit that they cannot get the relationship right, and all that remains is a physical connection that lacks any real depth. They go through the same thing every time, and the absence of emotional attachment is the reason why they cannot make the relationship work.
To emphasize the physical nature of their relationship, the lyrics use repetitive and straightforward language. The chorus is catchy and simple, with an upbeat tone that reinforces the detachment felt by the singers. The second verse emphasizes the lack of a meaningful relationship and suggests that they are not friends or lovers. The line "You know I'm right" implies that they are both aware of this but cannot change the outcome. The bridge reveals that the singer's partner does not really know them and that their love is not genuine.
Overall, the lyrics of Physical are about the difficulty of sustaining a relationship that is based on physical attraction alone. Although the song has a catchy beat and a danceable tune, it reveals the emptiness of a relationship that is devoid of emotional connection.

We can change our bad habits
We are capable of making changes to our unhealthy behaviors
Try to sleep at night
We should make an effort to get a good night's sleep
Lost for the moment
Feeling directionless or unsure
I've tried to find
I've attempted to discover what's missing
It's the same thing every time
The pattern repeats itself
It's some kind of magic
There's an inexplicable connection between us
Between you and I
In the relationship shared between us
But I gotta be honest, baby
I need to tell you the truth, even if it's hard
We just can't get it right
We're unable to achieve what we desire in this relationship
Set it up
Prepare for what's coming next

I've read it cover to cover, baby
I've learned everything I can about this relationship
You know I'm right
You are aware that what I'm saying is true
Baby, you say that you know me, you don't
You think you understand me, but you really don't
And lately you've told me you love me, you don't
Your recent displays of affection don't match up with your actions
Set it up, baby, set it up
Prepare ourselves for the next stage of our relationship
We're just physical
Our physical connection overshadows any emotional foundation

Our relationship is based purely on our physical attraction

The production on this is every bit as good as Stuck. The track is super clean and crisp. Great separation on the instruments. The drums crack, the bass line is really, really good with some nice little runs mixed in throughout, excellent guitar, and the lead vocal is perfection in the mix. The harmonies are layered on this and bring the whole song to another level. There's a lot going on here and the more you listen to it the more you find that you didn't notice previously. Really nice job. Would love to see the band get national exposure. Perfect for SNL! Looking forward to more.

Awesome song. I love it when bands make really good use of their bass guitarist; rather than just providing rhythm support. This song has made me a fan!
