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.

The band that started it all, Superchunk, is back with a surprise new studio album! Acoustic Foolish is a complete re-recording of their classic 1994 album, Foolish,. Long considered to be one of their most tender &amp; well-received albums in their storied history, the band was interested in re-exploring what the songs mean to them 25 years later. To quote bandleader Mac McCaughan, don't expect some kinda “acoustic demos recorded 25 years after the fact” thing here.... This is full-band with new arrangements &amp; contributions from some heavy hitters. Guest vocals are contributed by Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Flock of Dimes) &amp; Allison Crutchfield (Swearin', P.S. Eliot). Owen Pallett (Mountain Goats, Frank Ocean, Arcade Fire) provides lush string arrangements while Peter Holsapple (The dB's, REM) plays piano &amp; Matt Douglas (Mountain Goats) is on saxophone.
