Center Of The Earth
Earwig
Earwig is a high energy, stripped down, underground-rock, three piece with emotionally intelligent lyrics. They deftly straddle the line between reckless rock and roll mayhem and deliberate organized song crafting. The Who and Nirvana both come to mind.

Earwig - Center Of The Earth
The Anti-Next Big Thing
Earwig is unstoppable. Born of the Columbus, Ohio underground over a decade ago, these power-pop mainstays have no reservations about their work, or the life of it; music is just what they do. And frontman Lizard McGee may make it seem simple, like all this songwriting and producing and promoting is just in a mornings work, but make no mistake: Theres some serious skill here. Center of the Earth, the bands third release on the self-operated LFM Records- and its best album to date -is a glorious departure from the tried-and-true, a powerful creation bred both of hope and discontent, wistfulness and fear.
At Center Of The Earths core is a trio that writes superbly crafted, taut, three-minute rock songs. Lots of bands write such songs, but few are written that anyone wants to hear more than once. But Earwig delivers the goods. The rhythm section packs a wallop and swings like a monster. McGees voice delivers lyrics that avoid cliches. His strings of word are of the smart, multilayered variety that rewards listeners.
Earwig is a smart mid-western three piece that has been struggling in the underground scene for long enough to know better than to hope for some sort of mainstream success in the music business. With Center of the Earth, Earwig isnt hoping to make it big, be the next Rolling Stone cover boys, or sell a million records. McGee has been around the block long enough to know that sort of career is pretty rare. The band finally delivers on earlier promises to break the mold and cover new ground in indie-rock and spooky, underground-pop.
I don't know how much it shows, but this record is really about Ohio. It's about where we are from and being true to what you are, says McGee. The idea of making it is all an obvious sham at this point. We are the polar-opposite of the latest warmed over trend-hacks from NYC and LA. We're the Anti-Next Big Thing, McGee says. We've always been a sort of slacker band - 6 years between records! But we're honest. And we won't die.
