Six piece rock’n’rollers, Avers--who hail from Richmond, Virginia--make the kind of music that goes perfectly with moments of major revelation. Having played with bands like Foo Fighters, Real Estate,and Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, their self-proclaimed “dark echo rock” comes with a retro familiarity and an edge that will make you see old things in a totally new light. The band, whose six members each represent a different kind of cool friend you probably had in college, use a myriad of instruments and esoteric effects to create an infectious sound. This amalgamation of psych rock, hazy pop, and ethereal shoegaze propelled their debut album Empty Light to #9 in WNRN’s year end listener poll, and acted as the soundtrack to summer conversations with strangers on rooftops everywhere.
