Reliving The Permanence Every Morning

Superchunk “FOH”

I never really paid attention to Superchunk when I was a teenager in the 90s because compared to a lllllllll of the other major indie rock acts going at the time, they just sounded like a pretty normal band to me. And like, that’s what they were: A pretty normal rock band that had good songs. Flash forward to now, and they’ve barely changed, but suddenly they seem less normal. There’s not many good rock bands, much less great ones, and so now Superchunk truly stand out, and an energetic, ultra-catchy song like “FOH” is like a bucket of water in the middle of a drought. I don’t mean this to come off like a backhanded compliment: This isn’t just fun because there’s so little competition, I actually think Superchunk have improved a lot, and the elder statesman thing gives them an identity they didn’t quite have in their youth. I mean, this song is basically about being a rock and roll lifer, you know?
