The Dice Cubes are a Canadian Rock and Roll / Rockabilly band from Edmonton, Alberta. The group officially formed in 2015 with Brothers-In-Law James Harapiak and Dawson Walker. The band has released four studio albums and one Christmas EP.

History
Dice Cubes started as a collaboration between brothers-in-law James Harapiak and Dawson Walker between the years 2012-2015. Writing an albums worth of song they enlisted a rhythm section borrowed from Dawson Walkers then full time band and recorded a 10 song demo.

Using that as stepping stone to enlist a proper band, The Dice Cubes found Tim Resaul (Formally of The Chicken Snails Roadshow, The Hearts) on drums and Sean Gristwood (of Sean Gristwood fame) on upright bass. In July 2017 the bands first proper release was recorded over a span of two days as well as 5 additional songs re-recorded from the original demo. Got Lucky! was released in June 13, 2018.

The Dice Cubes spent the following year playing as many shows as possible including an opening gig for Reverend Horton Heat as well and recording a Christmas EP released December 18, 2018.

Sean Gristwood stepped down from bass duties in late 2018 to focus on his solo career and The Dice Cubes were joined by Andrew Cook (Formerly of The Misery Mountain Boys and Whitemud Drive). Together they played extensively throughout Alberta and surrounding areas and wrote and recorded their Sophomore Album Make Me Motor with Stew Kirkwood at Sound Extractor Studio in Edmonton, Alberta.

While Make Me Motor was being mixed and mastered The Dice Cubes enlisted Adam Lampman to re-mix and master the original 10 song demo with added material and this was released February 20, 2020.

The Dice Cubes (now third) Album Make Me Motor was released May 9, 2020 and was on the best album of the year list in the Edmonton Journal.
