Biography highlights
Formed in 2002 in Chicago by Jughead Pierson after Screeching Weasel disbanded, EiB evolved into a acoustic-pop-punk project guided by Liz Eldredge’s long-time lead vocals. The band is celebrated for harmonies and live-string textures that stand out in the punk landscape. EiB’s independent spirit has kept them touring and recording across decades, with a dedicated following on Bandcamp and select international appearances.
