Superchic[k] Rocks on the Positive
A few months ago, I came across the band Superchic[k]. Expecting to hear just another cookie cutter Christian band attempting to sound unique, I was surprised to find a group with a different sound altogether.
Most rock bands that get labeled as “Christian” bands seem to spend their entire startup investment on the artwork for their first CD. They put together some tough group pose in an alley or other harsh environment to give themselves that “we’re bad” image. Then, when you pop in the CD, the only thing bad is the music. However, Superchic[k] brings the whole package to the table along with a positive message that both believers and non-believers can appreciate.
Their most recent CD “Beauty from Pain” promotes the message of inner strength. With songs like “One Girl Revolution”, which was featured in the movie Legally Blonde and “Anthem” selected as the theme song for MTV’s Real World/Real Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet 2 the lyrics deliver a message of being your own person and not following the crowd.
Superchic[k]’s style is all over the map with hard hitting rock to soft ballads. I recently told a close friend that Superchic[k] was a mix of Evanescence, No Doubt, and Avril Lavigne. There is definitely something for everyone, but don’t get hung up on their being tagged a Christian rock band. While some may criticize that not a single song on this CD has the word “Jesus” in it, the lyrics still speak to the soul. To those critics, I say that passing out music CD’s to your non-believer friends isn’t going to get them saved. Nothing will ever replace one-on-one personal evangelism.
You can view Superchic[k]’s music video for “We Live” at GodTube.com. It was the theme song for the ABC series Brothers and Sisters.

NZA, if you click on the Superchick link at the beginning of my post you will be taken to their official website on MySpace. On their site, they have a audio player that plays about a half dozen of their songs. You may want to check it out to get a larger sampling. You can also search on YouTube for more songs. Keep in mind that We Live is the only official video from Superchic[k]. The others are copilations done by YouTube viewers, but they’re using Superchic[k] music, which is all you need to hear.
