Supergarage took their name from an auto shop owned by bassist Rob Passero's father. In 1995, they released their 6-song EP Duct Tape, which had the radio hit "Post-Teen Crisis" . In 1997, they released their self-titled debut album on Iron Music/BMG.
Original guitarist Mike Palermo left the band in 1998 to start a music store, Mikes Music. Original drummer Roger Habel Jr. left the band in 2002 and started several successful cover bands such as Betty Ford Band and Stays in Vegas.
In early 2000, they released Demolition, which garnered them praise for their mock video hit "Cheryl". Other videos made for that album were "Five Year Rut" and "On a Summer Nite".
In 2002, they released Elvis Was Bigger Than the Beatles through Sextant Records. It was reissued in 2003 on EMI. Their single from this record was "Sugar", which did very well on Canadian radio.
Supergarage toured with the Headstones, Big Sugar, I Mother Earth, Barstool Prophets, Matthew Good, Soul Asylum, and Green Day. The band was known as one of the hardest working bands in Canada and as road warriors.
They also had a track in Petz: Dogz 2 called "Pop Pop Radio instrumental".

Supergarage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything we order, she only smiles for me
Extra on the sweetness, extra on the please
Give an extra tip to pay her bachelor degree
Sweet marie, sweet marie, you don't have to pour more cream
Sweet marie, sweet marie, you just need to pour more sugar
Better make my decision, better make it fast
Starting with your eyes, start to fantasize
Visions of a cleopatra all domesticized
This is genuine, I'm not a valentine,
You stop to tell me that this is not the place and time
But I got future plans, can you tell me when,
What where why how, will I get to see you again
I'm not a criminal, not even physical
I'm so passive, aggressive, and pitiful
But for you I build a home, I never leave you alone,
Don't got a job, but I find a way to bring the bacon home
The lyrics of Supergarage's song 'Sugar' describe a man's infatuation with a waiter named Sweet Marie whom he sees every Sunday morning. The singer takes note of how Sweet Marie only smiles at him and goes out of her way to add extra sweetness to his order. He is so fond of her service that he even decides to give her an extra tip to help fund her degree. As he is about to leave, he hesitates and starts to visualize a future with her, where she is somebody like Cleopatra who is domesticated. He realizes that he is not a Valentine who comes and goes but has future plans with her. He wants to know when he will get to see her again.
The lyrics are creatively composed to convey the idea of a short-lived relationship that exists largely in the singer's mind. The lyrics suggest that the singer spends a significant amount of time daydreaming about this potential relationship and planning how he will interact with Sweet Marie to make it happen. The lyrics are optimistic and paint a picture of someone who is eager to please and willing to go the extra mile to achieve their goals.
