Like punk cover band TV Casualty , North Carolina indie mainstays Superchunk seemingly associate a truly ghoulish Halloween with music by seminal horror punks The Misfits. Last year, the band offered up a treat over tricks with a free download of their cover of "Horror Business" . This year, the haul is just as sweet, with the band tackling "Where Eagles Dare". Like the original, there's a heavy, driving sound; unlike Glenn Danzig and company, though, Superchunk infuse their version with a gummy core of low-key nerdiness. Check it out below, then download your own copy [...]

By Alex Brenner After several months of drought, fall record releases have been looking up. Because there are so many I thought I give you a quick look at what's out there. Wilco - The Whole Love Well what can you say, yet another great record. I like to think of Wilco as Radiohead with a purpose. Even at their weirdest moments Tweedy and Co. seem to make memorable songs while still pushing the limits. Released [...]
It's a testament to Superchunk's consistency that it's difficult to identify a single landmark album by the group, but 1994's Foolish happens to be the most challenging and best all-around offering of the band's 20-plus year career. It's a testament to the consistency and workman-like brilliance of Superchunk that it's difficult to identify a single landmark album - or, actually, even a slam-dunk favourite - by the group in its more than 20 years together. Some might chalk that up to thinking of the legendary Chapel Hill combo as a singles band even with nine non-compilation full-lengths [...]

Operazione autunno-nostalgico in casa Merge Records e dalla soffitta questa volta escono i Superchunk con una riedizione del loro classico Foolish . Lo-fi, power-sadness, guitar buzzing e atmosfere da pub sono la costante di 12 tracce che mai superano i 4 minuti di durata, per un disco che dovrebbe essere propedeutico all'Academy of Rock degli Yo La Tengo. Ah, e visto che c'abbiamo un problemino con Wikipedia (qualcosa che non va nel nostro sistema democratico, or something like this , credo), vale la pensa specificare che i Superchunck sono un quartetto [...]
Back in 1994, Superchunk released its fourth full-length Foolish on its own label Merge Records, the first album of theirs to appear on their own label after a 3-album deal with Matador Records had ended. A year or so earlier, the band had been recruited to join Atlantic Records in the wake of the stunning success of Nirvana's Nevermind , a time when every alternative-sounding band big and small was getting signed to big record deals, regardless of talent, a move that actually signalled the beginning of the end of the music industry as we [...]
The 2nd annual Hopscotch Festival boasted over 150 bands and close to the same number of southern food delicacies. The Owl Mag delved in and came out all the better, if not fatter, for it.
Song of the week so far, for me, is Superchunk's "From the Curve," from On the Mouth . It came up on shuffle yesterday as I was walking home from a stressful day at work and had the dual effect of giving me a little catharsis (as only 90s indie rock really can!) and hooking into the thought that's been going through my head lately of looking for some kind of fresh start, creatively speaking. What that fresh start is, I don't really know. Superchunk: From the Curve
There's a slew of new albums out today, including notable offerings by Girls , St. Vincent and Wild Flag , a group made up of two Sleater-Kinney members and Helium's Mary Timony . Wild Flag's self-titled debut really rocks. Girls offers an impressive and more sonic second album, Father, Son, Holy Ghost , while Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent) also stretches on her third full release, Strange Mercy . A pair of sem-classic indie albums get reissued on vinyl today as [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: If we were to shoot a band up in space in the late 19902s and then they landed back on earth in late 2011 they would probably sound similar to the music on Lenses Alien by Cymbals Eat Guitars . Ageless and pure indie rock that was somehow incapsulated in this experiment of fluid guitars; almost as if anything that may have come before may have somehow influenced them in a magnetically sealed hyperbolic chamber. Never afraid to just let it fucking rip Joe & his rock-o-naughts launch you into the outer rim in [...]
