The Aces are back and on fire with their new single, “Twin Flame.” From their forthcoming album, Gold Star Baby, out everywhere on August 15 via SoundOn, the song intertwines dance-inducing disco grooves with Latin pop sonics to craft a tune that is simply divine. Frankly, The Aces constantly push the envelope for the indie pop genre with every release. Cristal Ramirez sings, “Our connection puts the new ones to shame, oh no/How could I forget all our history?/Starting from scratch feels like my arm twisting, oh no/It’s bad news, I know/I can’t put out our twin flame.” The band shares,… Read more »

ICE arrests have broken innocent families apart, and in most cases, those being deported have no criminal record (or are actual American citizens). Countless pieces of legislation were introduced or passed that take direct aim at the LGBTQ+ community. Federal workers were laid off en masse, the genocide in Palestine rages on, and this is merely scratching the surface. Refer back, even further, to 2023 when SCOTUS overturned… Read more »
