Superchunk: Crossed Wires 7"

Superchunk
Crossed Wires 7"
Merge Records [2009]









Fire Drill Review:

We are always up for a new single from Superchunk and the Crossed Wires 7" finds the band once again showing their veteran knack for a hook. This follows the entertaining Leaves In The Gutter [EP] released earlier this year and combined with this release represents more new output from the band in almost seven years. Both the A side and B side will rock you out with a fever that feels like early 90's Chunk. This is a good thing and if you are a collector of limited vinyl releases, Crossed Wires is currently available in a limited edition of 1,000 copies on clear vinyl. So get em while they're hot!

Key Track: "Binders (Fast Vers.)"

Band With Similar Fire: Ted Leo
