Biography:
Superchunk is an indie rock band which formed in 1989 in the college town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States. The band consists of Mac McCaughan (vocals, guitar), Laura Ballance (bass), Jim Wilbur (guitar) and Jon Wurster (drums). McCaughan and Ballance founded the indie record label Merge Records mostly to distribute the band's material, but has since grown into one of the largest indie record labels in the United States.
After a pair of well-received singles, Superchunk released Superchunk in 1990, a critically-lauded LP.

The colours ready to burst
D5 A5 B5
And you may notice a shaking in your eye
E5 F#5
Metaphors the worst
D5 A5 B5
Well are you being driven or do you drive?
E5 F#5 D5 A5 B5
On a trip between two points and your infinity now
E5 F#5 D5
obliterate yourself from the scene but please do not forget
A5 B5 E5 F#5 D5 x2
A5 B5
Cover me with spots
E5 F#5
Black and red dots
D5 A5 B5
