LIVE REVIEW: Maid of Ace, Trillians, Newcastle, 18th July 2019 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Maid of Ace are something of an oddity in the\nmale-dominated world of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, and not just because they\u2019re all female.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been lots of good all-girl rock bands over the years \u2013 The Runaways, The Go-Go\u2019s, Girlschool, L7, Sleater-Kinney, Civet, to name but a few \u2013 but none of them have what makes this Hastings four-piece so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s because Maid of Ace consists of four\nsisters – Alison Cara Elliott (lead vocals\/guitar),\nAnna Coral Elliott (guitar\/vocals), Amy Catherine Elliott (bass\/vocals) and\nAbby Charlotte Elliott (drums). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They played their first show\ntogether at school back in 2005, and began to take things more seriously around\n2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have spent the last few years\ndeveloping as a kick-ass live band, and I guarantee anyone seeing them for the\nfirst time will be blown away by their raw energy, musicianship and the sheer noise\nthey make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first came across them in 2013 when they made their debut on the New Band Stage at Rebellion Punk Festival in Blackpool, and was so impressed I\u2019ve seen them another eight times since, just to make sure they were as good as I remember. I haven\u2019t been disappointed yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have two self-released albums to their name, 2014\u2019s self-titled debut and 2016\u2019s Maid In England, which was named as No. 9 in Vive Le Rock magazine\u2019s albums of that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only surprise is that no punk\nlabel has stuck its neck out and snapped them up for album number three (I\nbelieve new songs are in the offing\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alison, on lead vocals and guitar, gets most of the attention, as frontmen\/women usually do, and for one so petite she has a great look, huge stage presence and a fiery rasp which could strip paint off bare metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a band is only as good as its component parts, and the siblings who make up Maid of Ace are a very well-oiled machine indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna is a natural guitar hero,\nand her vocals are a lion-like roar which threaten to put even Alison\u2019s Brody\nDalle-like snarl in the shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage left is Amy on bass, who might not have as many rock star moves as the six-stringers, but locks into a thunderous rhythm with the mass of flailing hair and arms which is powerhouse Abby on drums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake, Maid of Ace are a\nformidable unit, and if you watch them closely you can see the smiles between\nthem when they just *know* they have hit that sweet spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of these during\ntheir 45-minute set, and these sisters are obviously having a ball as they do it\nfor themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My only complaint tonight was that the set seemed to fly by, an intro followed by a dozen slices of adrenaline-fueled punk rock bordering on hardcore, plus a couple of unscripted encores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standouts were hard to pick, but the opening onslaught of Stay Away (no relation to the Nirvana song), the raging Hollywood Rain, my personal favourite Minimum Wage (that bassline…) and first-album staple Bone Deth take some topping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking on gas? Tonight the flame was turned up so high the cylinder would have been emptied several times over. Go to see Maid of Ace if you like your music served raw and loud – you won’t regret it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
