| Earwig — Pause For The Jets (October 14, 2016) |
Earwig — Pause For The Jets 
→ The un~published novel “My Own Secret Service” details the origins of the underground band Earwig and their fantastic adventures as they battle to save the Multiverse from a secret society of invading demons who occupy a parallel dimension. The self–proclaimed “true” rock–and–roll memoir forms the basis of Earwig’s new album “Pause For The Jets” (available from Anyway/LFM Records).
→ The roots of Earwig trace to a small video/music shop in Columbus, OH, were guitarist and vocalist Lizard McGee met bassist Rich Cefalo.

Review
By Joel Oliphint, From the Oct. 13, 2016 edition
→ “Let me make myself clear...,” he sings as the instruments drop out and then return to help him finish the thought, “...right from the beginning / I miss the lonely feeling every time I close my eyes.”
→ McGee~Moore sings alongside her father on the record, adding even more punch to the vocal attack.
→ “I’ve always had a prejudice against 20~year~old female singers who don’t play an instrument and just stand in front of everyone with a microphone. Now I am that,” she said, though McGee~Moore has begun playing keyboard on some songs and also aided with translating and performing the pseudo~Japanese scrawls from her father’s journals.
→ “Most of the Japanese on the album is me,” she said. “I’ve got a couple years of Japanese under my belt. ... It should make 78 percent sense to a Japanese person.”
→ Earwig has always had a rotating lineup, but for a while the band had been a trio of McGee and brothers Constantine and George Hondroulis, though George was recruited to play drums for Lydia Loveless after he completed the drum parts on Pause for the Jets. (Loveless also lends her voice to the album’s drunk~in~love duet, “Wasted on You”). McGee recruited Nocera, also of Winter Makes Sailors, to man the kit and complete the current, four~person incarnation of Earwig.
→ McGee said Earwig’s new lineup feels like a rebirth. “I think for a while with Earwig it was like the dream of the ‘90s band: Get signed to a major label. It used to be informed by that ‘90s fantasy of super~stardom,” he said. “Now I’m just in it for the art and the fun of making music and being excited to do things with my friends … which is rekindling what excited me to start a band.” (excerpt)
