    "A 10-song, radio-friendly batch of hit-single-worthy tracks... Radiophonic Supersonic is a triumphant winner."
    -- Alan Haber's Pure Pop Radio

    "Detroit’s Dave Caruso creates such pretty pop songs on his recent album, Radiophonic Supersonic, reminding me of 10cc mixed with more than a little Macca. The Drop perfectly captures his careful attention to song arrangements, juxtaposing some crunchy rhythm guitar with low key sweet vocals."
    --Dennis Pilon / Poprock Record - Songs With a Hook

    "Although it didn’t arrive until early December, Radiophonic Supersonic still made a number of 2020 best power pop album lists. If I had compiled such a list, it might well have cracked my top 25 — a notable achievement in what was a strong year for the power pop genre."
    -- Alan Sculley / The Morning Call

lyrics

I Won’t Wait For You
Words & Music (c) 1987, 2020 by Dave Caruso

Make up your mind — Are we just killing time?
It’s all on you / You know what to do
Tell me here and now -- Is this love or only laughter?
Should I put you down or keep you happy ever after?

I won’t wait for you
I know you want me to, me too
I won’t miss out under a sky this blue
I won’t wait for you

I won’t wait for you
I know you want me to, me too
I won’t stand in line till my head is blue
I won’t wait for you

It’s open, shut your mouth / Before a lie comes out
If you don’t care / Don’t keep me waiting here
Tell me here and now / Share with me the sweetest secret
Is it love you’ve found or just a nibble when you need it?

I won’t wait for you
I know you want me to, me too
Don't look at me 'cause it's all on you
I won’t wait for you

I won’t wait for you
I know you want me to, me too
I won't keep this up till I'm black and blue
I won’t wait for you

[Break over verses]

I won’t wait for you
I know you want me to, me too
You say you need some one but you won't say who
I won't wait for you

I won't wait for you
I know you want me to, me too
I won't sit on my ass till your eyes turn blue
You can’t have my cake and eat it too
I won’t wait — unless you ask me to. I won’t wait for you.
