Warrnambool’s “second favourite band” The 80 Aces smash up pop, grunge, funk, and rock on their hooky new EP ‘Dollars’.

Sure, they joke, but Warrnambool’s second favourite band might just be your new first. They’ve delivered some irresistible hooks on their latest EP ‘Dollars’.

Jade and Matt from the band discuss their first ‘proper’ EP, recorded with Steve Schram in their home town, hitting the stage alongside Hoodoo Gurus, You Am I and The Vasco Era, consolidating their rock and pop sides, and slipping lots of ‘oohs’, ‘ahhs’, and panting in their new single ‘Magic Shoes’.
