Superchunk

Bio

Superchunk was founded in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States in 1989 by guitarist/vocalist Mac McCaughan, bassist Laura Ballance, lead guitarist Jack McCook, and drummer Chuck Garrison. The band initially called themselves Chunk, a derivation of drummer Chuck Garrison’s name, but eventually added the prefix “super”. Their debut single “Slack Motherfucker” came out later that year and was met with critical acclaim. It has since been included on Pitchfork’s list “Best Singles of the 90s” and was featured on their self-titled debut album. This release as well as their follow up “No Pocky for Kitty” both came out through Matador Records.
