Press Reviews "The Aces are one of my favorite up and coming bands. They love the blues and play it with plenty of feeling and respect. They have a tough sound and I always look forward to the chance to hear them." -Charlie Musselwhite "There's also the image thing. The band performs under the gloom of low wattage lighting. They sport sophisticated vintage suits. Their combed-back hair shines with grease from a tube. Like molten steel, the group is raw and volcanic, forging something gleaming." -Chris Garcia, The Press Democrat
