Superchunk’s debut is back, louder, sharper, and still delightfully scrappy. This remastered edition of their 1990 self-titled LP captures the raw, fuzzy charm of a young band read y to conquer the indie rock world one crunchy riff at a time. From the bratty energy of “Slack Motherfucker” to the driving urgency of “Let It Go” and the jangly bite of “Sick to Move,” the album wears its influences proudly – you’ll hear shades of The Buzzcocks, Hüsker Dü, and Sonic Youth, with just a hint of Southern sparkle thanks to nods toward R.E.M. and Drivin’ n’ Cryin’. It’s the sound of a group still figuring it out but already having way too much fun to care. The LP comes dressed in updated artwork and includes an 11" × 17" replica flyer from an early Chunk show, complete with photos and band notes on the reverse. As a bonus, you’ll get a download of Clambakes Vol. 9: Other Music From Unshowered Grumblers - Live in NYC 1990, recorded at CBGB just days after the album dropped. It’s sweaty, raw, and exactly how indie rock should be. Three decades on, Superchunk still plays these songs live - proof that even their earliest work packs staying power. This is more than a reissue; it’s a time capsule of unpolished brilliance. Spin it loud, sing along, and remember what 21-year-old frustration (and joy) sounds like. Show more
