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.

Celebrate Merge’s 35th anniversary with a new&nbsp;Superchunk&nbsp;single! Superchunk’s brand-new, limited-edition 7-inch&nbsp;“Everybody Dies” b/w “As in a Blender”&nbsp;will be released on January 26, 2024 (shipping with February store orders), and is available for pre-order now. Listen to A-side “<a href="https://youtu.be/VqJCg15Hfo4" target="_blank">Everybody Dies</a>” wherever you stream music!

An excerpt from&nbsp;Mac McCaughan’s notes on&nbsp;“Everybody Dies” b/w “As in a Blender” digs into the emotional underpinning of the A-side (full statement follows tour dates below):

"The last years have often felt like an avalanche of loss—starting with Bowie and Prince, really, and then magnified by the pandemic and amplified by social media. Something that seems different recently is that we aren’t just losing legends from older generations—Pharoah Sanders or Toots Hibbert or Kidd Jordan or Tina Turner—but musicians we think of as peers and friends; people we have toured with and recorded with and shared beers with all over the world. It means of course we’re getting older, and while we know from an early age that yes, everybody dies, it doesn’t make these departures any less shocking"

The 7-inch is housed in a sleeve featuring an oil-pastel painting by McCaughan and includes a lyric insert &nbsp;for “Everybody Dies.” The B-side, “As in a Blender,” is a cover of&nbsp;Alastair Galbraith’s 1992 hazy NZ classic. Superchunk’s recording line-up for these recordings was McCaughan,&nbsp;Laura Ballance,&nbsp;Jim Wilbur, and Laura King&nbsp;on drums.&nbsp;Rosali Middleman&nbsp;features on group vocals on “Everybody Dies,” and King sings on the outro of “As in a Blender.”
