![Superchic[k] — Karaoke Superstars cover](/art/0e4476dbe7aff3.webp)
Catchy lyrics. Songs that get stuck in your head and could be in there for hours on end. Just a few phrases to describe Superchic[k]. They've got girl power, plus some. Step into the world of a garage band that's just a little different.
Every song is uplifting. If you don't have high self esteem before listening to this, well, you'll come out with a smile. And not only are they uplifting, but they're all about being yourself, not going along with what everyone wants you to do. Take "Big Star Machine," for example. "Could someone help me comprehend how I came to judge my friends/on a scale of trendiness and somehow I love them less/not as hip as they could be through the eyes of star machine," how many people do you think get caught in the above dilemma?
A personal favorite of mine, "Barlow Girls," is a theme for all those girls out there who are saving themselves for that special someone. And of course, a real anthem for girls across the world is "One Girl Revolution," Now, of course, their songs aren't all girl-geared. There are plenty of great messages for boys, too.
I commend Superchic[k] for giving me something exciting and happy to listen to. A great pick-me-up record for any slow day. Their pop-punk, hip-hopish, garage band sound is irresistible and is sure to get you singing or snapping along. So "turn up the car radio," and give Superchic[k] a go.
Amber's Score: 4/5

HM Magazine #90Reviewed by Andy ArgyrakisTake a higher quality version of Flight 180, and a lower grade of No Doubt, and you've got Superchick, the latest Chicagoland export to InPop Records. Although the disc isn't a pleasant listen straight through, it does have its bright spots, weighing in heavily on the fact that the band switches up styles every couple tracks. The title cut blends a retro-styled surf beat mixed with alternative…ReAL Magazine 2001Reviewed by Timothy Paul YenterIt's not often that a band that is very intentional about their Christianity is right on top of what's happening in music. Remember when Christian teens had to wait 5-10 years for musical styles to permeate Christian labels? (Quick test: What were your friends listening to while you were thrashing to Buzz by Guardian? Or were you still clinging to your Amy Grant and Petra tapes?) Well, wait no…Similar sounding releases
