Superchunk is an
indie rock band from
Chapel Hill, North Carolina. After a pair of well-received singles, Superchunk released
Superchunk[?], a critically-lauded LP that failed to bring the band the superstardom that label heads had hoped they would be, in the wake of bands like
Pearl Jam and
Nirvana's success. In spite of the ensuing bidding war, Superchunk stayed on
Merge Records[?] for their second, just as critically-lauded LP,
No Pocky for Kitty[?], followed by a collection of singles,
Tossing Seeds[?] and another well-reviewed LP,
On the Mouth[?]. In spite of the loyal fanbase, Superchunk had failed to break into the mainstream. They continued touring and recording, appearing on
Lollapoolaza[?] and backing a minor hit in "Hyper Enough" (from
Here's Where the Strings Come[?]. In
1999, Superchunk released
Come Pick Me Up[?].
