The Aces Members, Gear & Sound

The Aces are an American indie pop band hailing from Provo, Utah, known for their infectious blend of pop, indie pop, and electropop, with a touch of alt z flair. The band consists of Cristal Ramirez (lead vocals, guitar), Katie Henderson (guitar, backing vocals), McKenna Petty (bass, backing vocals), and Alisa Ramirez (drums, backing vocals). Together, they create a vibrant sound characterized by catchy melodies, polished harmonies, and a youthful energy that resonates with fans of pop and indie alike.

The Aces craft a sound that's both polished and vibrant, with a focus on catchy hooks and energetic rhythms. Their music is characterized by shimmering guitar tones and dynamic rhythms, often achieved through Katie Henderson's use of Epiphone Les Paul Standard and Fender Telecaster guitars paired with effects like the TC Electronic Corona Chorus and MXR M169 Carbon Copy. These elements contribute to a sound that's both clean and expansive, with a subtle warmth that complements their electropop influences. The rhythmic foundation laid by McKenna Petty's Fender Mustang Bass and Alisa Ramirez's innovative drum patterns, often enhanced by the Roland SPD-SX Sampling Pad, adds a driving force that keeps their music both engaging and danceable.
