Our Take

Ah, Superchunk, the indie darlings who have been churning out fuzzy, melodic punk rock since the dawn of time (well, 1989 to be precise). Their latest album, "Here's To Shutting Up," sees the band in fine form, balancing their trademark energy with a newfound maturity.

From the opening bars of "Late-Century Dream," it's clear that Superchunk haven't lost their edge. This is music to jump around your living room to, with Mac McCaughan's distinctive vocals cutting through the wall of guitars like a hot knife through butter.

But what sets this album apart is its introspective moments. Tracks like "Art Class" and "Garlic" showcase a band unafraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves, delving into themes of aging, self-doubt, and the passage of time.

Of course, there are still plenty of catchy hooks and anthemic choruses to keep the mosh pits bouncing. "Rainy Streets" is a slow burner that explodes into a cacophony of noise, while "Nu Bruises" is a pop-punk gem that will have you singing along after just one listen.

Overall, "Here's To Shutting Up" is a triumphant return for Superchunk, proving that age is just a number when it comes to rocking out. Cheers to that.

About the artist

Superchunk

Superchunk, the indie rock legends from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, have been kicking out the jams since 1989. Fronted by the incomparable Mac McCaughan, this band has been at the forefront of the alternative scene for decades. Their sound is a mix of raucous punk energy and melodic sensibility, with McCaughan's distinctive vocals cutting through the wall of fuzzed-out guitars and pounding drums. They're known for their explosive live shows, with McCaughan thrashing around the stage like a man possessed. Their discography is a testament to their staying power, with classic albums like "No Pocky for Kitty" and "Here's Where the Strings Come In" standing the test of time. Each release sees the band pushing their sound in new directions, while still retaining that signature Superchunk charm. Despite their veteran status, Superchunk are far from slowing down. Their latest album, "What a Time to be Alive", is a blistering critique of the current political landscape, with songs that are equal parts angry and anthemic. It's a testament to their ability to stay relevant in an ever-changing musical landscape. So if you're looking for a band that can rock your socks off and make you think at the same time, look no further than Superchunk. They're the elder statesmen of indie rock, and they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Sit back, crank up the volume, and let Superchunk blow your mind.
