The Early Years and Deal Us In
Formed in 1989, Aces Wild quickly gained recognition for their dynamic stage presence and tight sound. The band was heavily influenced by the classic rock styles of Van Halen, Warrant, Metallica, Harem Scarem, and Honeymoon Suite. Their debut EP, Deal Us In, was released exclusively on cassette in 1991 and showcased their blend of melodic rock, AOR finesse, and hard-edged metal. The EP featured tracks like "Hands of Time" and "Phone Sex Girl", which became underground hits among Canadian rock fans.

The band performed as headliners at local venues and supported major acts such as Warrant, Harem Scarem, and Honeymoon Suite, establishing themselves as a formidable live act. Despite their indie status, Deal Us In hinted at their potential to break into the larger rock scene.
