Superchunk – Inbetween Days
By Craig Smith • Jul 28th, 2010 • Category: Webcut of the WeekLast seen by Webcuts at the Primavera Festival in Barcelona tearing up the stage like street kids on a candy high, North Carolina’s Superchunk took great delight in reminding the assembled why they were of the last great alternative bands of the 90′s still standing. Having been somewhat quiet since 2001′s ironically titled Here’s To Shutting Up, Superchunk have a brand new album on the way, the epically titled Majesty Shredding released on September 14 (US) and October 4 (UK). The band’s website says the album is “neither a return nor a departure…” and that just tells you everything you need to know — exhuberant, melodic, intense and in your face (and that’s just the slow songs) Majesty Shredding could well be their greatest hour (or 41 minutes). While we wait for October to roll round, sit back and relax as the band peel out on a cover of The Cure’s “Inbetween Days” recorded especially for the AV Club.
Craig Smith is no pop, no style.
