UniversalDice.com is a most unique band; just beneath their accessible modern rock sound lies perhaps the most ambitious and rich lyrical content in popular music today. Although most of their songs are radio ready while musically challenging and engaging, the ideas that drive the songs break all the rules and continually surprise the listener. There are few bands that not only make you think, but force you to re-think what was once taken for granted.
Their latest album, "Out Of Many, One," continues the growth of this band. "Still Alive in the USA" attempts to rescue patriotism from the domain of scoundrels, "FGM," "To the Fundamentalists," and "I Am the Woman Who Has Awoken," spearhead a call for reason and compassion for oppressed people everywhere, while the I-Am-the-Walrus-like "Master of Low Expectations" exploits the verbal ramblings of someone we know all too well! And of course, you will not find songs like "God Wants Me to Hate You," anywhere else!
The end result is a band with a unique, yet never repetitive sound. "One Good Thing," and "Peace Love" will move you in ways you thought were long gone from a rock band. How many modern rock bands can make you both feel and think?
Songwriter, singer and author/activist, Gerry Dantone, has perfected a writing style that is first and foremost humanistic, but also coherent, provocative, and multi-layered.

Bandmates Bob Barcus on lead guitar and Tom Beckner on keyboards are among Long Island's finest session players and are given a chance to stretch on such musical gems in songs such as "God Shaped Hole," "Last Prayer," and "My Name Is Thomas..." from their first CD, "My Name Is Thomas..." . Newest member is longtime area studio whiz Ed Canova who adds his fretless bass support to a number of the bands latest tunes.
Tunes such as "Man & God," "Where They Kill Love," "Vengeance" and "Love Is" from "mostly True Stories" are the rarest of the rare - completely original ideas and in these difficult times, nearly prophetic. You will find lyrical and musical references to Shakespeare, the bibl
