Formed in 1989 in North Carolina, Superchunk quickly became one of the cornerstones of American indie rock, thanks to a blend of punk energy, sharp melodies and an unshakable D.I.Y. ethic. From their self‑titled debut, they showed that urgency and rage could live side by side with pop hooks and raw honesty, helping define the sound of 90s alt‑rock with iconic tracks like Driveway to Driveway and Like a Fool. Their latest album, Songs in the Key of Yikes (2025), once again brings together urgency, melancholy and punchy power‑pop melodies. On stage, their shows are still a masterclass in cutting riffs, pounding drums and unadorned, sincere rock, a rare trait in bands with such a long‑standing legacy.
