Clairecords is excited to present the debut from
Gainesville, FL's most promising young, fresh
fellows, Averkiou. Inspired by everyone from Ride
and Guided By Voices to Teenage Fanclub and Wire,
and taking cues from the likes of Dinosuar Jr. and
Sebadoh, Averkiou is like the classic indie rock
band that you've always loved ?you just haven't
heard 'em yet. The result of two-and-a-half
turbulent years of teeth-gnashing frustration,
Throwing Sparks was hardly an easy project in the
making. But it was only after the group spent time
in the studio that home tracking became a viable
option. "We had this idea that it was absolutely
necessary to track these songs in a studio and we
did that, and some of that is on this record, but
it took us another year after walking out of the
studio to finish what we started there and in the
end, home recording is what made this record work,"
says David Quarles, multi-instrumentalist for the
band. A modern indie rock masterpiece clocking in
at a scorching 25 minutes, Throwing Sparks will
rock you like a Category 5 cyclone. You best not
blink. Not matter what, we are positive you will be
begging for more.
