Take a deep dive back to the late 70’s, when Fraser ruled Australia, disco & MOR ruled the world and a young guitarist named Ed Kuepper bucked all that and was churning out proto-punk classics that would resonate for decades to come, some would be released by his band The Saints, others by the Laughing Clowns and even more would bide their time,ageing like fine wine, waiting for their turn to sink into the ears of music lovers across the world.

The horn-driven Red Aces is one of those tracks. Originally mooted as the follow up to The Saints 1977 classic Know Your Product before circumstances lead to a change in direction, Red Aces exists now as the first single from The Aints! And the lead track from the forthcoming debut album The Church of Simultaneous Existence.

To accompany the release The Aints! have assembled a video using historical archival footage of Brisbane, Sydney & London as well as rare iconic performances of the young Kuepper himself.
