Bio
Started in 2009. Three albums later (a fourth and fifth on the way in 2012), total combined years on the the stage of 80 years, newspaper articles, radio interviews, radio and internet rotation, signed to an Indie label and a live performance that rivals the "best of the best". We have seamlessly incorporated bagpipes into a traditional punk rock sound. Picture the Ramones meets a bagpipe marching band with quick tempos, catchy riffs and air tight chord changes and song to song changes that barely give you room to breathe. The most obvious difference between Loaded Dice and other bands is the distorted guitars matching a set of bagpipes in a melodic, "raise the hair on your arms" sound. Secondly...the desire and effort to be the BEST band on the stage in any given night. Bring on the best of the best...we're ready! Its a 100 mile an hour foot tapping jig from beginning to end. We are heavily influenced by the "older" punk generation like the Ramones, SNFU, Social Distortion. We combine that with very old traditional Scottish and Irish songs...and then kick up the tempo a few hundred notches. We are great at what we do, we know what we are doing, and we know what the audience wants to hear. We give that to them! Full out! Period!
