Juice is an American rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 2013. The band consists of Ben Stevens (lead vocals), Christian Rose (violin, vocals), Kamau Burton (acoustic guitar, vocals), Daniel Moss (guitar), Michael Ricciardulli (guitar), Rami El-Abidin (bass), Miles Clyatt (drums). Juice draws from many influences, including rock, pop, hip-hop, and R&B.[1]

Juice formed at Boston College in 2013. The band, along with original bassist Jack Godfrey and original pianist Chris Vu, won BC's Battle of the Bands that same year.[2] Godfrey, an exchange student at the time, was replaced by El-Abidin in 2014. While in college, Juice performed regularly in Boston and New York City.[1]

In 2016, Juice released a self-titled EP after a successful crowd-funding campaign. In July of that year, Juice won the Land the Big Gig Competition at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI.[2] At the festival, the band was introduced to producer Johnny K, who invited the band to record an EP the following summer.[3]

Juice released their professional debut EP, Workin' on Lovin', in June 2018.[citation needed]
