Earwig knows how to kick off an album. “Trees,” an obvious single, is a slow/fast/slow/fast, building rockpop fistpumper that’s all hook and attitude. Earwig make music like it used to be in those buygone days of the 1990s. You know, shades of Soul Asylum, Nirvana, Muse, Dinosaur Jr. . . . Y’know why? ‘Cause they’re that Goddamn old! Their experience shows in their ability to craft solid rock songs, one after the other. And their street cred gets bonus points because they run their own label.
It’s seven bucks on bandcamp. Such a deal.
And even better, you can get the acoustic version of the album for free at bandcamp! Come on, man, support the artist!
