The band is UniversalDice.com
The CD is "My Name Is Thomas..."

Faith, doubt and Rock 'n' Roll. UniversalDice.com has bitten off a big piece, and they go for it. Listen:

"If you want to get to heaven, you got to kiss the Magic Butt"

"If you're immune to actin' human, go on and kill yourself"

"Happiness is the only heaven... and love is the only priest"

"I envy the dead, they don't have to get up in the morning"

"There's a God shaped hole in my heart"

"There was no Holy Ghost, when I looked deep inside"

"We lay down in beds of sorrow, this is not the way of love"

"I'd like to give you my thanks for the prayer, but I'd sooner choke on my last breath"

"This is my last prayer, off my knees at last"

It begins "My Name is Thomas, and I want so much..." and ends with "Love is the Only Priest." Along the way the most original exploration of faith and its loss in rock and roll is a surprisingly passionate, cerebral, biting and emotional journey.

UniversalDice.com is a band from Long Island that knows what it wants to say. With the planned release of their debut CD, "My Name Is Thomas...", in January/February 1998, UniversalDice.com becomes a pioneering band, taking on a subject matter that is rarely explored or approached in as brilliant, thoughtful, confident and provocative manner as this. The four band mates have been perfecting their style and point of view for the last few years, and the release of this thematic 71 minute, 18 song epic will not disappoint. Songwriters and lead vocalists Gerry Dantone and Sam Cimino are both unique and original rock and roll voices and refuse to be contained in any neat musical category. Lead guitarist Bob Barcus and keyboardist Tom Beckner complete the quartet, complimenting the percussion and guitar abilities of Gerry and the bass playing and all around musical genius of Sam. Rock used to challenge the listener with new ideas, not just shock. Can you handle this?
