Song of the Day - April 22, 2005

No sense stopping now with the momentum built by Error; it is time for Jucifer and "Amplifier." Jucifer is another two piece boy girl band, but Amber Valentine's vocals make Jucifer standout. The aggressiveness of their sound mixes surprisingly well with her artfully crafted guitar noise. Her voice takes the edge off just enough, but the chaos is still there. This juxtaposition of the aggressiveness of her guitar work with the sweetness of her voice is very appealing. Many times bands with such a heavy sound as Jucifer have a male vocalist just ranting and raving, so they eventually sound very similar. Amber's vocals eliminate the competition. Her partner, Ed Livengood, handles the drums with a menancing touch. The perfect compliment to Amber. Click here to listen.
