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.
Still Here
Superchic[k] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I looked down and lost my way by light
Brought to my knees
Though the dark surrounds, it pulls me down,
I do not sink beneath.
Still here, staggering on,
Through the impossible, we remain,
Still here, still fighting on,
All we have is today, find my way
To the beauty of one more day,
Still here.
Hope fades away,
When tomorrow holds no promises today
Then today I am set free
For amidst the tears, among the fear
I find the joy to be
Still here, staggering on,
Through the impossible, we remain,
I can breathe, one more day.
Still here, still fighting on,
All we have is today, find my way
To the beauty of one more day,
Still here.
Still here, staggering on,
Through the impossible, we remain,
I can breathe, one more day.
Still here, still fighting on,
All we have is today, find my way
To the beauty of one more day,
Still here.

Cross through the night
Travel through the dark and lonely times
I looked down and lost my way by light
Got distracted and lost my path, despite the little light I had
Brought to my knees
Overwhelmed to the point of being physically unable to stand
Though the dark surrounds, it pulls me down, I do not sink beneath.
Even though darkness and despair surround me and make me feel down, I don't give up and let them consume me completely
Still here, staggering on, Through the impossible, we remain, I can breathe, one more day.
I am still alive and moving forward, even in seemingly impossible situations. Every breath I take is a victory
All we have is today, find my way To the beauty of one more day, Still here.
The present moment is all we have, and I want to find the good in each day, even when it's hard. I am still alive and still fighting
Hope fades away, When tomorrow holds no promises today
I feel hopeless when there is no guarantee that tomorrow will be any better than today
Then today I am set free For amidst the tears, among the fear I find the joy to be
When I accept that today is all I have, I am free from worrying about the future. Even in times of sadness and fear, I can still find moments of joy
