The sisters began to play punk rock back in 2005, and played their first gig at the high school they all attended.

They started to take things more seriously around 2012, after meeting ex-BMX/skate videographer Mark Richards, who DJed at the local nightclub where they all pulled pints.

Steady gigging has earned them a growing army of fans, and they have released two albums to date, their self-titled 2014 debut, and 2016’s Maid In England.

Known for their live energy, and a raw punk rock sound verging on hardcore, they have become regulars at Rebellion Festival in Blackpool, as well as playing their own shows and picking up some prestigious support slots.

October and November saw them tour Europe with The Exploited, and they will spend early February touring with Anti-Flag and The Creepshow at the following dates:

Feb 2 Chalk | Brighton ⁣
Feb 4 02 Academy Islington | London ⁣
Feb 5 Club Academy | Manchester⁣⁣
Feb 6 The Mill | Birmingham⁣⁣
Feb 7 Garage | Glasgow⁣⁣
Feb 8 The Key Club | Leeds⁣⁣
Feb 9 The Globe | Cardiff

If the new song is anything to go by, the best of Maid Of Ace is yet to come.
