MAID OF ACE
D.I.Y. CUNT PUNK ROCK
Maid of Ace are coming to America and ready to take over the world with an aggressive sound and fierce attitude that has made this all female band one of the hottest and tightest groups around. Hailing from Hastings on the South Coast in the UK, Maid of Ace are an all sister band who formed not only in the same womb but in the same house back in 2004 and have been doing what they do best--creating great music and mayhem for over a decade of edgy punk rock filled with energy and plenty of intensity. The maids include Alison Cara Elliott on Vocals/Guitar; Abby Charlotte Elliott on drums; Anna Coral Elliott on guitar and vocals; and Amy Catherine Elliott on bass and vocals. Its sista rock!
Maid of Ace played their first gig in high school and played several UK tours, two European tours and a tour in the United States and released their self titled debut LP in 2013. The band continue to deliver the same energy and fire that they began with and are ready to rock the USA again with their potent fire power once again as they get ready to assault the music world with their firey sound. They have another European tour on tap in 2016 and a new album on the way. They also plan on playing in the Rebellion festival. They just played the west coast in the United States last November.
Music and energy are in their blood and yes, it runs deep with these girls even after 10 years. Ali said, "Just to be able to carry on making music and releasing it to the world is satisfactory enough for us, we're not 14 anymore, we cant just spend all day in our bedroom playing guitar....we have jobs, bitches n bills to pay, which can distract you or make it harder to be in a band....but we make it work, and thats whats made us, 10 years on n goin' strong!..."
As for their attitude and sound, they call it DIY Cunt Punk. "Our attitude is D.I.Y, from our music, releases, hair cuts... we do it all ourselves...we even wipe our own ass's.......Cunt punk coz the cunt is a powerful thing! ....women should be able to release their anger without being called 'un lady like' ...."
The mix of sisterhood in the band is a formula that has energized and tightened the band fueled by a devotion to music and given way to success said Ali. "We've always been into music, first hearing punk bands is what made me wanna start a band, it was never planned to be with these bastards, but all living under the same roof and influence it just happened n shit stuck! we wouldn't have it any other way now....in a band you need to be able to love eachother even when you hate each other, ha, ha!"
As for the band name, Ali said, "All our initials are A.C.E, our mother obviously thought it was clever, being 4 ace's in a pack.....'Maid' being our maiden names are all Elliott....now we end up opening eachothers mail!....ha its just some bullshit name we came up with in a rush before our first gig and never got round to thinkin of anythin 'cooler'."
Don't be fooled by the fact that these girls are not serious about making music and to be taken lightly. Just listen to their music and you will realize that they have all the power and fury of any punk rock band leaving gender aside. "I'm sure some people do, but when they see or hear us play they realise we got more balls than breasts ....."
And their message, said Ali, "BE WHO THE FUCK YOU WANNA BE! AND DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANNA DO!"
Don't run and hide...find Maid of Ace right now and do it fast. Do you have what it takes to listen to the vibe these girls put out? You had better fasten your seat belt for the ride. They not only know how to play but how to ride a mean bike...
They are on Facebook, have a web site of their own and plenty of YouTube vids to make your day rock! This is one of the edgiest and best bands I have come across and one you need to experience. Wherever you are, tune them in and turn it up. They are Maid of ACE and your NOT!
