After… Read Full Bio ↴Superbus is a five-piece French power pop band formed in 1999.
After a trip to the USA in 1999, Jennifer Ayache went looking for musicians to make a group. She met Michel Giovannetti, a guitarist, and François Even, a bassist, who already knew each other from another group, and formed a new band. They started out as a three-piece before 2 other members joined. Those two were later replaced by Guillaume Rousé (on drums), and Patrice Focone (on guitar). Rousé quit the band in 2005 and was replaced by Greg Jacks, drummer of the band No One Is Innocent.
The band got their name from the Latin word "superbus", meaning proud, supposedly when lead singer Jennifer Ayache stumbled upon that word while browsing a Latin dictionary.
Superbus' style is reminiscent of a vast array of bands, from No Doubt to Weezer, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Sublime.
In 2002, Superbus released their debut album, "Aéromusical".
The track "Tchi-cum-bah" was the demo which caught the interest of David Salsedo, allowing Superbus to make a full album.
The band's second album, "Pop'n'Gum", released in 2004, was produced by David Salsedo from Silmarils.
The track of the same name as the album was featured in a commercial for the Malabar chewing gum.
In 2005 they won the Best French Act award at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Superbus also made a debut in Guitar Hero III with their song Radio Song, featured as an unlockable bonus song. According to the Sikoras, Superbus are the founders of 'girl noise garage rock', a genre involving garage rock mixed with girl noise.
In 2006 the band released their third album "Wow" which reached number 6 on french album charts.
A year later Superbus released their first dvd Superbus Live A Paris which features videos from a year and a half of touring.
In 2009, Superbus released their fourth album "Lova Lova". The reissue of the album included a cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass", which was originally a bonus track for the 2006 album "Wow".
In 2010, Superbus released their first best-of compilation album, "Happy Busday", which had "Mes défauts" as the lead single of the album, while also including 3 tracks (On s'aime, Eddy, Téléphonie) which are made for the album.
In 2012, Superbus released their fifth album "Sunset". The album's recording took in place in Los Angeles.
The album's lead single was "All Alone" , a video was released for it in June 3.
The album included a cover of The Buggles' hit song Video Killed The Radio Star.
After Sunset's tours are finished, the band members did different projects. The lead singer, Jennifer Ayache went on her solo project and made her first solo album +001, bassist François Even started the band Mr. Freak, drummer Greg Jacks reformed his former band, The Dukes.
In 2016, Superbus recorded their sixth album "Sixtape". The album's name is a reference to the album's number.
The album had three singles: "Strong & Beautiful" and "On the River", and "4 tourments". Tracks "Strong & Beautiful" and "On the River" also have a piano-driven acoustic version.
In January 2020, the band released a new single named "Silencio", this single is released under the label Verycords, a division of Warner Music France. Silencio became the lead-off track on their EP XX released Mar 6, 2020.

The lyrics to "Jenn Je T'Aime" by Superbus are about someone who is afraid of losing the person they love. They admit to lying just to get that person to give them a chance. They've deceived others but still hope for a response from the person they care about. The song portrays a level of vulnerability and frustration in the situation. The lyrics show that the singer is at a point where they cannot keep quiet any longer and want to express their feelings, but they are also scared of ruining everything that they have.
The lyrics are quite simple, but they convey a sense of desperation and passion that anybody who's been in love can relate to. The song gives the impression of somebody who has put on a façade for too long and is now ready to confront their feelings, no matter the outcome. The chorus, "Moi aussi je t'aime / Jen Je T’aime," means "I love you too" and serves as a confession to the other person that their love is reciprocated.
