Superchunk is an indie rock band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. When the pair of easily-received singles, Superchunk freed Superchunk, a critically-lauded LP. Around spite of the following bidding war, Superchunk decided to stay independent, sticking by owning Matador Records for their second, even as critically-lauded LP, No Pocky for Kitty, followed by a collection of singles, Tossing Seeds and another pair of easily-reviewed LP's, On the Mouth and Foolish.

Superchunk singer Mac McCaughan & bassist Laura Ballance launched Merge Records to release the band's first albums, also when more indie-rock acts, including Lambchop and The Arcade Fire. It prove my point touring & recording, appearing in Lollapalooza and backing a minor hit around "Hyper Enough" (from either ''Here's Where the Strings Come). Inside 1999, Superchunk released Come Pick Me Up.
