Sporting wispy pop harmonies and a giant, three guitar wall of sound ("It really isn't sonics. We just had three guitarists, and no one wanted to give up playing guitar."), the group vacillate from Ramones-style power chord, pummeling to an even more ferocious "acid's-groovy-let's-kill-the-pigs"-type psychedelia. Popping a little, droning a little, tripping a little, the Liz Borden Band take all the better aspects of the past 30 years of rock and bring them into alignment with modern-rock taste. Borden, the chief architect of the sound, is by no means ready to slip into the easy-listening, world-weary acoustic strumming many of her contemporaries have gravitated toward. She claims the best is yet to come. Listen through the songs that constitute The Lizzie Borden band (Beverly/Raven Records), one is forced to wonder how much more of an edge a band could possibly deliver. From the opening Veruca Salt-meets-Lee Josephs's-LSD-flashback of "Desire" to the pop-metal rendition of Lulu's classic "To Sir with Love," the Liz Borden Band walk a tight line between real and surreal, hard and soft, razor-sharp black and white ranting and fuzzy, Technicolor vomiting. When Borden chants the title chorus to "Outside," a tune devoted to the negative slant of the evening news, you can practically hear her catharsis splash against the back of the toilet bowl. -The Boston Phoenix Newspaper

Still playing the The Finch Family, Liz wanted to put out something different than she had recorded before, so for the winter of 2003 Elizabeth and her friends decided to stay in the warmth of recording studios in Boston, NYC, & Los
Angeles. The CD "Elizabeth Borden" was born.
Liz moved back to Boston and started up the Liz Borden Band with her Finch Family bass player Kelly Johnson.
