No Dice: No Dice Are a Good Bet
Kris DiLorenzo, Trouser Press, July 1979
IT'S JUST the luck of No Dice that they first surfaced during the punk-to-new wave transition. Judging from the tacky photos that keep appearing, you'd think No Dice were just another quartet of hungry Limeys riding trends, but there couldn't be more of a gap between this book's cover and its contents.
