Superchic[k] believes in this generation. We believe you can not define yourself through what is seen in the media but rather through individuality and self worth. We believe there is something unique and original in every person and that these qualities make up talents that can be used to affect change.  

What started as a vision for a one-girl revolution has multiplied into an army of nonconformist fans who believe in themselves and their ability to affect change. Such is the impact of Superchic[k], a Chicago-based band whose albums inspire and empower.  Superchic[k]'s latest album, 'Beauty From Pain 1.1' (the major label edition of the band's indie watershed collection 'Beauty From Pain') advances the cause in the group's relentless search for revolutionary sounds and ideas.

The band's previous albums -- 'Karaoke Superstar' (2001), 'Last One Picked' (2002), and the remix disc 'Regeneration' (2003) -- garnered both fan approval and rave reviews from the media.   The original May 2005 release of 'Beauty From Pain', on the indie label Inpop, became a #1 Billboard Heatseeker and has sold more than 150,000 copies at mainstream retail and specialty outlets and bookstores.  To date, Superchic[k] has sold upwards of 450,000 albums.

From the declaration of "One Girl Revolution" in 2001's "Legally Blonde," to the propulsive sounds of "Anthem" roaring through MTV's theme song for the "Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet 2" (which premiered last December) to the sounds of "It's On" powering NBC's promotional spots for the 2006 Winter Olympics, music from Superchick has been heard in more than 60 different films and television shows including "The Practice," "Alias," "Felicity," "Joan of Arcadia," "Legally Blonde 2," and more. 

The idea behind Superchic[k] first took shape while founder Max Hsu was performing with a former group.  In talking with fans each night, he kept hearing a recurring story: the intense pressure to look and act a certain way in order to fit in with current pop culture was destroying many of them while causing others to simply give up.  Superchic[k] -- featuring vocalist Tricia Brock and her sister vocalist/guitarist Melissa Brock, bassist/vocalist Matt Dally, lead guitarist Dave Ghazarian, drummer Brandon Estelle, and keyboardist/DJ/producer Max Hsu -- was formed then, not just as a band, but as a movement to show fans that one's value doesn't lie in the latest trends.  "We believe that everyone is gifted with something totally unique to them," guitarist Dave Ghazarian says, "and we encourage every one to find and develop their own special gifts."   Sometimes developing one's individuality means taking risks, which is why Superchic[k] opts to produce and record the group's albums themselves in Max's basement.  "That's the reason we made the first record, simply to prove that we could do it," says Max, "and that anyone else can do it too."
