Superchunk

What’s more punk rock than believing and investing in yourself? The Triangle-based indie rock band Superchunk harnesses the frenetic energy they’ve developed over decades of touring in a performance for the ages. They also discuss how their DIY mentality generated the iconic label Merge Records and share what it’s like to see both young and old fans sing their hearts out to their songs.
