Band of the Week: Through the Sparks
Hometown: Birmingham, Ala.
Fun Fact: Lazarus Beach was recorded in a garage with a finicky pool pump that flooded the space twice. The pump's buzzing is audible during the album's quieter moments.
Why They're Worth Watching: Infectious melodies and wry, thoughtful lyrics make Through the Sparks a delight to listen to and perfect for summer mixes.

It's no surprise that the members of Through the Sparks are longtime friends who forged their relationships in high school over shared bottles of stolen whiskey while listening to early morning blues radio in their hometown of Birmingham, Ala. Their music exudes familiarity, a sense of comfort and cohesion that is hard to find in journeyman bands cobbled together from want-ads or other artificial means.
