Orange County 1981 The Lost Debut Album
Michael Ubaldini's teenage band The Earwigs recorded an album and single in 1981. A lone 45 RPM single was released from those sessions  in January 1982. "Sheâs So Naiveâ/âHere Come The Earwigsâ. The album never was released as the label who was to release it closed shop. This most sought after and mysterious album of it's era has been collecting dust on reel to reels - until now!
It was mastered and pressed at the legendary Gold Star recording Studios in Hollywood. Home of Eddie Cochran âThe Beach Boys and Phil Spector's âWall of sound âwhich was right up The Earwigs alley. The single was played all over Southern Cal Radio by cutting edge punk rock and new music record spinners on Rodney Bingenheimers âRodney On The Roqâ show & Sue Minks KNAC âNew music showâ. Sue and Rodney  worked The Earwigs into the rotation on their shows  by playing  cassette tapes of the bands unreleased album and single. That is how a rock n roll band with no album pressed became one of the most influential bands on the Orange County and LA county and the first ones  mixing a harder raw garage rock n roll w/power pop playing the same circuit as The Pandoras and Social Distortion. Strangely The Earwigs have a modern young cult following to this day- the debut album that never saw the light of day & sat on 'analogue reels' for 45 years. Sixteen blistering tracks that pre-dated Wild Billy Childish's The Milkshakes and also preceded later on bands  The Strokes, Vines, and The Strypes by decades .
