BLACK ACES 
NEW ALBUM: “ANYWHERE BUT HERE”
RELEASE DATE: 8TH NOVEMBER 2017
New Video / Single: “Anywhere But Here” released 15th October 2017

 

Australian Hard Rock four piece Black Aces have returned with their second album Anywhere But Here, set to be released worldwide on British label Off Yer Rocka. Co-produced by the legendary Mark Opitz (AC/DC, INXS, The Angels, Kiss) and Colin Wynne (Bad Dreems), Anywhere But Here sees Black Aces deliver 11 tracks of raw, unadulterated Aussie Pub Rock.

Recorded over 7 days at Melbourne’s Thirty Mill studios, Black Aces have delivered on the promise of their barnstorming 2016 debut Shot In The Dark, with work starting on their second record whilst still touring the first.

When we left Australia to tour Europe and the UK in September last year, we already had 20 or 30 Songs floating around for the second album,” says lead singer and lead guitarist Tyler Kinder. “We spent quite a bit of time in the tour van listening back to them, picking out the good wood, and working together on lyrics, and talking about what we wanted to do once we got back to the shed in Bendigo.”

Once back in Australia, Black Aces- rounded out by rhythm guitarist Jarrad Morrice,
bassist Alex McMillan and drummer Pete McMillan- locked themselves away in their rural
hometown rehearsal space, a converted auto garage 2 hours north of Melbourne.
When they got news that Opitz and Wynne were interested in working with the band, rehearsals went into overdrive. “Colin and Mark worked with a band from Adelaide called Bad Dreems who we all love, and the fact that Mark has essentially worked with half the bands in our record collection really sealed the deal for us. We were very lucky to work with someone of that calibre,” says Kinder.

“Mark and Colin’s idea was that a band should be a band. We recorded live, all in the same
room, no click track, we don’t use pedals or anything like that anyway. All the emphasis was on feel,”says Morrice.

OYR CEO Jonni Davis is excited about what Black Aces can bring to his label “After a stunning
performance at Hard Rock Hell’s X T Anniversary last November , OYR Head Honcho Jonni Davis, knew that Black Aces were a sound that would do well on Off Yer Rocka, and here they are. The new album will make your balls vibrate, no doubt about it, as will their Thursday main stage performance at this year’s Hard Rock Hell on the 9th November.

About Louise Swift

I first went to a gig in 1981, Gillan at Leeds University. I've been a regular gig goer ever since. I haven't kept count of how many gigs I've been to over the intervening years, but it's a lot! My favourite bands are AC/DC then, in no particular order, Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and the Dogs, Towers of London and Dirt Box Disco. I tend to like Glam/Punk and rude offensive lyrics, not sure what that says about me but as Animal would say 'So What!' The question was recently put to me - did I write for any online publications? My reply - No, but I'd like to! Planetmosh was suggested and I found myself offering to review Aces High Festival. Easy peasy I thought! Well not quite, if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well! I had sixteen bands to research. I found I actually enjoyed that and it kept me too busy to be making lunatic comments on Facebook! ;) Then I felt a bit inadequately qualified. I mean, who am I to comment on others, when my musical expertise extends to being able to play a mean Greensleeves on the recorder and a passable Annie's song on the flute! Haven't picked up either instrument for years! What I do have, however, is over 30 years of experience as a gig goer, so I can comment on what I like and what I don't! It's only my opinion and, if I don't like a band it doesn't mean they are bad, just not to my own liking. I admire anyone who has the guts to get up on that stage and have a go!
