But the highlight of course was North Carolina\u2019s <strong>Superchunk<\/strong>. Easily one of the best and most influential punk pop bands, they came out with a lot of energy playing a ton of their songs. Although their newish stuff hasn\u2019t evolved much from \u201cNo Pocky for Kitty\u201d (one of the best named albums of all time) their craft for pure indie rock still shines.
