Superchunk is an American indie-rock band hailing from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Formed in 1989, the band consists of Mac McCaughan on vocals and guitar, Jim Wilbur on guitar, Laura Ballance on bass (with Jason Narducy replacing her as the live/touring bass player since 2013), and Jon Wurster on drums. Known for their energetic performances and catchy melodies, Superchunk has been a staple in the indie-rock scene for over three decades.

With their unique blend of punk rock and pop sensibilities, Superchunk has garnered a dedicated fanbase worldwide. Their music is characterized by McCaughan's distinct vocals and heartfelt lyrics, accompanied by Wilbur's melodic guitar riffs and Ballance's driving basslines. Wurster's powerful drumming adds depth to their sound, creating a dynamic musical experience.

Throughout their career, Superchunk has released numerous critically acclaimed albums, including "No Pocky for Kitty," "Foolish," and "I Hate Music." Their music embodies the spirit of independence and resilience that defines the indie-rock genre. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, Superchunk continues to captivate audiences with their infectious energy and timeless sound.

Superchunk release 'I Hate Music', their tenth studio album. After taking nearly a decade off following the release of 'Here's to Shutting Up', Mac, Laura, Jon, and Jim decided to shout it out again in 2010 with 'Majesty Shredding', an album perfectly described by its own title. It's a celebratory set of whoa-whoa-whoas from a group so thrilled by making music together again that they can't contain themselves. The band's latest release, 'I Hate Music', is Majesty's dark twin. It's similarly aggressive - often moreso (see 'Staying Home') - and every bit as energetic. It reflects the joys of a life spent immersed in music ('Me and You and Jackie Mittoo,' 'Trees of Barcelona'), but there's a dark undercurrent as well. That title isn't tongue-in-cheek, but it's really more a question than a statement: When you're 20, lazy co-workers and romantic missteps number among your biggest worries; two decades later, life's bigger questions knock louder and louder, demanding answers. 'I Hate Music' is an album about love more than anything else: love of life, love of living, love of people, and yeah, love of music. Llimited-edition deluxe LP pressed on colored vinyl and include a bonus 7-inch containing two non-album tracks, along with an I Hate Music stencil. Pressed on 150-gram vinyl and features a die-cut sleeve.
