Sonically and structurally, we were really into Superchunk.
When I listen to the old Jazz June songs now I can hear elements from bands like Jawbox, Archers of Loaf and Superchunk that were direct influences on us.
Didn't realize the #rocknrollweirdness of this announcement landing on the 30th anniversary of the release of Superchunk's "On The Mouth" until a few moments ago, but here goes: Friends, After much soul-searching I have decided to fade back from my role as Director of Percussive Research at Superchunk Industries. It's been a very productive thirty-one years but my heart just isn't in it anymore. I will most likely don The Shirt™ on special occasions, but unless otherwise noted, my office will be occupied by a more than capable, to-be-named DoPR. The immensely talented @lkbroiler will be behind the kit one week from tonight at the Carolina Hurricanes Fan Fest in Raleigh, NC. I wish nothing but the best for Mac, Jim and Jason as they continue producing the high quality, live rock music you have come to know and love. It has been an honor serving you and I'll rock your faces somewhere down the line. Jon Wurster 2/10/23
In our minds we were incorporating and absorbing things from bands we were touring with like Rocket From The Crypt, Drive Like Jehu and Polvo, but, when you listen to it, it just sounds like a Superchunk record.
I mean I think that Superchunk – just like the label – reflected stuff that we were into. [It] sounded like bands we liked. I feel like Superchunk has never been the most original band musically because we sounded like a lot of the records that we listened to. The Buzzcocks cover was one of the first songs we learned when we first started playing in bands together. Dinosaur Jr. Sonic Youth. I feel like our first record sounds like that.
We never really felt like we belonged to a genre. It seems like people put us into a genre. We wanted to play indie rock. We wanted to be Superchunk.
