Superchick got their first break opening for Audio Adrenaline in 1999.
In 2000, the band self-released their first album, Karaoke Superstars, which was later re-released once they were signed to Inpop Records. Having had songs appear in Legally Blonde, Cadet Kelly and on several television shows including the Real World and the X-Games, Superchick is one of the most played garage bands.
The band's line-up has changed over the years. In the beginning, there were eight members, including crew. Members credited for Karaoke Superstars were sisters Tricia [lead vocals] and Melissa [guitar, vocals] Brock, brothers Matt [bass] and Ben [drums] Dally, Dave [lead guitar, keys] Ghazarian, Andrew [percussion] Vegas, Dan [lighting, pyro] Larson, and Max [keys, guitar, turntables] Hsu.
With the release of their second album, Last One Picked, the line-up listed Tricia, Melissa, Matt, and Max with the addition of Justin [lead guitar] Sharbaro and Brian [drums] Fitch. Their remix album, Regeneration, marked the return of Dave, with Tricia, Melissa, Matt, and Max returning. The release of Beauty from Pain brought with it the band's current incarnation with the addition of Brandon Estelle on drums. Recently, Clayton [drums] Hunt, formerly of Christian rock band Dizmas, joined the group in replacement of Brandon.
After releasing four albums through Inpop, Superchick signed a deal with Columbia Records to re-release "Beauty from Pain" through the larger label.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just your average Jane
Super doesn't stand for model
But that doesn't mean I'm plain
If all you see is how I look
You miss the superchick within
And I christen you Titanic
Under-estimate and swim
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I'll be everything that I wanna be
I am confidence and insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world
And I'm a one girl revolution
I'm a one girl revolution
I'm a one girl revolution
Some people see the revolution,
But most only see the girl
I can lose my hard-earned freedom
If my fear defines my world
I declare my independence
From the critics and the stones
I can find my revolution
I can learn to stand alone
I'll be everything that I wanna be
I am confidence and insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world
And I'm a one girl revolution
I'm a one girl revolution
I'm a one girl revolution
(And I'm a one girl revolution
I'm a one girl revolution
and I'm a one girl revolution)
And I'll be everything that I wanna be
I am confidence and insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world
Everything that I wanna be
I am confidence and insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world
And im a one girl revolution (2 times)(second time to fade)
Superchick's song "One Girl Revolution" is an empowering anthem for women to challenge societal expectations and stereotypes to become their authentic selves. The lyrics suggest that the singer is hiding her true self behind a mask so that she may conform to society's standards. However, she reminds us that there is more to her than meets the eye, and her non-conventional ways do not diminish her worth. She cites her confidence and her insecurities as a part of her identity, but she is also a voice waiting to be heard. Her declaration of independence from the critics and stones means that she is prepared to make a stand and be a role model for other women. The chorus, "And I'm a one girl revolution," reinforces the idea that one person can make a difference and that women can be strong, independent voices in the world.
Line by Line Meaning
I wear a disguise
I hide my true self from others
I'm just your average Jane
I am an ordinary person
Super doesn't stand for model
Being called 'Super' does not mean I am a model
But that doesn't mean I'm plain
However, this doesn't mean I am not special
If all you see is how I look
If you only focus on my outward appearance
You miss the superchick within
You will overlook the exceptional person inside
And I christen you Titanic
I will name you Titanic (a symbol of overconfidence)
Under-estimate and swim
If you underestimate me, you will fail
I've got the rifle gonna be myself
I have the courage to be true to myself
I'll be everything that I wanna be
I will be whoever I want to be
I am confidence and insecurity
I am both confident and insecure
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I have something to say but haven't had the chance to speak up
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world
I will make an impact that reverberates globally
Some people see the revolution,
Some people recognize the significance of progress/change
But most only see the girl
But most people only see a young woman
I can lose my hard-earned freedom
I might lose my valuable independence
If my fear defines my world
If I let fear control me
I declare my independence
I affirm my autonomy
From the critics and the stones
I reject the words and actions of those who put me down
I can find my revolution
I can discover what drives me to create positive change
I can learn to stand alone
I can gain the strength to stand on my own
And im a one girl revolution (2 times)(second time to fade)
And I am an unstoppable force for change
