Words: A. Murray.

Nathan Bryce and Loaded Dice deliver a late-night groove you won’t forget with “Drunk Dial Baby.” Released now, the track turns the familiar “You up?” text into a blues-funk journey full of humor and heartache. Jerry Paswaters’ bass locks in the rhythm, Dylan Halacy’s drums push the pocket, and Bryce’s guitar moves through the verses before exploding in the chorus, making every note feel alive. It’s a fun, soulful departure from their heavier blues-rock roots, showing off a new side of the Kansas City trio.

Lyrically, “Drunk Dial Baby” hits the sweet spot between funny and painful. From moonshine mouths to late-night dopamine rushes, Bryce captures the thrill and sting of fleeting connections with sharp wit and sincerity. After years on the road supporting Taj Farrant, Nathan Bryce and Loaded Dice are stepping into the spotlight, bringing their high-energy mix of classic rock, blues, and Southern influences to a wider audience. This is one track you won’t want to miss.
