Indie-pop quartet The Aces are back with a heartbreak banger just in time for the Pride Festival season. Hearkening back to unrequited love of awkward teenage years, “Girls Make Me Wanna Die” is a queer anthem with a message that’s universally relatable.
The song shows the bands evolution, diving further into the pop soundscape while striking balance with their edgy, alternative identities. It’s playful, but cool, and bound to get fans moving.
When asked about the inspiration behind the song, The Aces collectively shared, “‘Girls Make Me Wanna Die’ is a nostalgic call back to our adolescence and shared experience of being young, queer, and painfully in love with your best friend. Everyone remembers that feeling. So many ‘what if’s’, so much longing. Every single look and touch meant something. We wanted this song to feel desperate and full of youth, so we stripped it down to how everything started back when we were kids, jamming in the basement. Guitar, drums, bass, and a distorted vocal.”
As announced in April, The Aces will be touring hard this summer, joining LA-based band Why Don’t We on their North American run and will be popping up at festivals and multiple Pride celebrations across the nation.
