SUPERCHUNK

As usual i have no idea where to start with this band. For one i cant even remember how i first came about hearing them, it could of either been thanks to a BMX video called Road fools back in 97' or through hype from a zine i used to get that i cant even remember the name of now thanks to a friend of mine Mr J.Daniels.

Either way, since the first time i heard them i have never ever stopped loving them, the more i listen to them the more i like them! Most bands that ive gotten into over the years have produced some amazing first few years of music and then seem to change everything great about them and start to follow a new lables "great new sound" or try too hard to follow whats hot right now instead of keeping up what theyve always done! Superchunk on the other hand have done the opposit! Instead of following all the passing fads and sounds and fashions they just stuck to their guns and kept doing what they always did, and that was straight up great American indie rock.

"Superchunk released Superchunk in 1990, a critically-lauded LP. In spite of the ensuing bidding war, Superchunk decided to stay independent, sticking with Matador Records for their second, just as critically-lauded LP, No Pocky for Kitty, followed by a collection of singles, Tossing Seeds and another pair of well-reviewed LP's, On the Mouth and Foolish.

Superchunk singer Mac McCaughan and bassist Laura Ballance launched Merge Records to release the band's future albums, as well as other indie-rock acts, including Lambchop and The Arcade Fire. They continue touring and recording, appearing on Lollapalooza and backing a minor hit in "Hyper Enough" (from Here's Where the Strings Come In). In 1999, Superchunk released Come Pick Me Up.

The band has not released a new studio album since 2001's Here's to Shutting Up, and their most recent tour was in support of the 2003 compilation Cup of Sand. Their most recent show was played at this year's South by Southwest in Austin, Texas." -wikipedia
