QUICK STRIKE: NOTHING IS WASTED ON EARWIG’S “WASTED ON YOU”

Posted on October 17, 2016 by strikerbill


One of the surest marks of a good power-pop song is an overabundance of hooks.
The most catchy and well constructed examples of the genre have a hook-like

accomplish in life. Then there are those for whom the lines are not quite so
clear cut. In some ways, the San Francisco trio Mosaics fall into the latter of
these two categories. Their single “Freedom” slips easily between the seams that
lace together a dozen different genres, touching upon each but never lingering
on any one in-particular for more than a few moments. Continue Reading →
