It’s been said that young people don’t know how to communicate anymore. DICE exists to respond to
that idea.
Comprising of Ben Hodge, Tom King, Regan Beazley, and Sam Barrett-Lennard, the Perth-based
four-piece makes music for authentic connection. For movement, for feeling, and for being present.
These are songs that push you to run outside and be a kid again, to fall in love, dance in your kitchen,
take a spontaneous trip with mates, jump into a river, or lie in the grass doing nothing at all.
This mission has resonated far beyond their Western Australian roots. Since the 2024 release of their
ARIA-charting debut album Midnight Zoo, DICE has transformed from local indie-rock darlings into a
high-velocity global export. Following the critical acclaim of their debut, the band spent 2025
cementing their status as a premier live act and evolving their sound with the release of the WINGS
EP. Their massive 2025 World Tour saw the group move into larger venues, turning the pressures of
early adulthood into bright, liberating anthems for sold-out crowds in London, New York, Toronto,
Bristol, Denver, Amsterdam, and Sydney.
Having maintained a position on triple j’s Most Played Artists list for three consecutive years, DICE
continues to build momentum with an unwavering life’s too short philosophy. Following the success of
‘Chasing Hearts’, ‘Alter Ego’, and the euphoric ‘Hourglass’, the band has spent the last year
recalibrating their sonic DNA.
Now, DICE enters 2026 with their latest single, ‘COOLER.’ Recorded at the legendary EastWest
Studios in Los Angeles alongside Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, The White
Stripes), the track represents a total evolution for the band. It is a blissful, lighter, and euphoric world
that bridges the gap between their raw garage-rock energy and a new, sophisticated pop-rock
refinement.
By working with Chiccarelli to move past the bones of the song, experimenting with abstract layering
and punchy synths, the band brought in Jay Watson (POND, Tame Impala, GUM) to add his
signature melodic depth and texture on keys. The result is a high-fidelity invitation back to those
fleeting moments of freedom and possibility.
DICE creates the soundtrack to experiences you’ll feel nostalgic for before they’ve even happened.
As they continue to fly at their own altitude, ‘COOLER’ marks the beginning of their most ambitious
chapter yet, a year defined by major milestones and a bold new vision that is only just beginning to
unfold.
