We just had three guitarists, and no one wanted to give up playing guitar.&#8221;), the group vacillate from Ramones-style power chord, pummeling to an even more ferocious &#8220;acid&#8217;s-groovy-let&#8217;s-kill-the-pigs&#8221;-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&#8217;s-LSD-flashback of &#8220;Desire&#8221; to the pop-metal rendition of Lulu&#8217;s classic &#8220;To Sir with Love,&#8221; 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 &#8220;Outside,&#8221; 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<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elizabeth Borden of Lizzie Borden and the Axes fame, has a kewl website that includes tons of info about her and her bands.
