SUPERCHUNK
Superchunk was formed in 1989 in the town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, by Mac McCaughan (guitar and vocals), Laura Ballance (bass), Chuck Garrison (drums), and Jack McCook (guitar). Initially, the band went by the name Chunk (original drummer Chuck Garrison received some junk mail with his name misspelled as "Chunk" Garrison, and the name stuck), and their first single was released under the Chunk moniker. [1] After adding the "Super" prefix to their name, the first official Superchunk single, "Slack Motherfucker," followed in 1989 on Merge Records, founded by Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance. Both releases were well-received, and Superchunk would release its debut self-titled album in 1990 on Matador Records to more critical acclaim.
Superchunk's main studio albums (excluding compilations, live albums, EPs, singles, etc.) are:
