Earwig is a Columbus, Ohio, indie rock band that has been at it since 1992, putting its records out on micro-indie labels LFM and Anyway. The lineup is built around singer and guitarist Lizard McGee, with Costa Hondroulis on bass and vocals, James McGee-Moore on keys and vocals, and a pair of drummers in Jeremy Skeen and George Hondroulis.
Center of the Earth, from 2006, is the record that carried them furthest, and "Used Kids" is its calling card: scrappy, melodic alternative rock with a big-hearted chorus and the lived-in feel of a band that plays for the love of it. They were still going a decade later, with Pause for the Jets arriving in October 2016.
