Who: Averkiou

Song: New York Friend

Why You’ll Love This: The scene down in the swamps of Gainesville, Florida, is far more diverse than meets the eye. For every band riding Hot Water Music’s coattails in hopes of parlaying that into a deal with Paper + Plastick or an appearance at the Fest, there’s seemingly another doing the exact opposite of that. Enter Averkiou, a four-piece who have been active for half a decade without any signs of embracing their inner Chuck Ragan. Their latest EP,The New Imperative, is another solid (albeit brief) collection of hazy, mid-tempo rock that’s simultaneously captivating and lulling in every single sense -AP
