Before you go to one of Jucifer’s shows, make sure you can cope with a 15-speaker wall. Metal lovebirds Ed Livengood and Gazelle Amber Valentine care about rock and want to make sure you do, too. With a sludge-laden sound and battling angelic and demonic vocals, the Georgia-born band has dedicated itself to the metal life. In a city where many bands consider themselves a part of the DIY scene, Jucifer fits right in when it comes to screaming truth to power. Livengood and Valentine also have a penchant for specifically calling federal Washington out on its mishegoss.
