The sordid history of Aces Over Kings began on a cold fall night in the year of our Lord, 1994. James purchased his first guitar at the age of 16. After three years of intense training he still struggled with the basics, but yearned to share his knowledge. After seeing a demonstration of his electric guitar skills, boyhood chum Josh decided he too should purchase a guitar. 150 bucks later, terrible sounds began to emanate from the Mill Creek suburbs. The two spent the next three years experimenting around with buzzing amps, single coil pick-ups, and the beginning drum beats of DJ Scott Keith. Never making it further than Scott's basement and soon losing him to the lure of electronica, the young punks set out on a brave new search for a rhythm section.
Rising from the ashes of Corona, California and fresh on the Northwest scene, Aaron's infectious bass licks needed a home. Josh and James, also battling infections, provided that shelter. Aaron was the natural fit not only because of his overwhelming talent and stylish good looks, but he had married Josh's sister. The journey for the final piece of what was to become the infamous Aces Over Kings was underway.
After rummaging through mullets and inbreds, playing in parent's houses and practice spaces, and dredging the slums, back alleys, and byways of Snohomish County along came a man, not just any man, but a toe tapping, drum slaying, hardened punk rock veteran known only as Frosty. Raised on The Ramones and Black Flag, Frosty's style is both hard as hell as it is consistent and solid.
Although the Aces are sorely diverse as people, they are four of a kind. The newly assembled power quartet wrote four blazing songs which they immediately took to the golden ears of Don at IRONWOOD studios in the summer of 2003 and created what was to become the pinnacle of the new rock 'n' roll. The story continues as they are working hard to invent it with quality songwriting and positive lyric matter. Rest assured you can count on these boys to bring the rock to those who are in need of a full frontal keister whoopin'.
