No, there is no doubt which band influenced Black Aces most. Even the most looring can not be wrong. In addition, they are from Australia. Just one such thing. In other words, it is a real thin line they put on. Not even the references, neither are they directly on the ball unless you say so. Even Sweden, Sweden, has its own Bullet, which has already been going on for several years, and also honored to be a band of idols.

The story of DIVA starts in 1988 when the band was formed out of the ashes of several local Sheffield bands. One official 7″ single (Rescue Me / One Kiss) during 1989, two demos, various live-gigs and many broken promises (with major-label Chrysalis looking interested to the band) later, the band split up, when – common story to many other bands – the Rock -world completely changed as Nirvana hit the scene.
