The name "Superman Is Dead" was derived from Stone Temple Pilots's "Silvergun Superman". The name was modified to "Superman Is Dead" because they liked the idea that there's no such thing as a perfect, invincible person out there.
Originally stumbled together in 1995, drawn by their common love of Green Day and NOFX, their influences soon extended to the punk 'n roll genre a la Supersuckers, Living End, and Social Distortion.
SID produced their first three albums independently, with fabulous, small scale indie labels "Case 15" (1997), "Superman is Dead" (1999), "Bad Bad Bad" EP (2002). In March 2003 they finally signed with Sony Music Indonesia and released their first album under that label, "Kuta Rock City". Their second album "The Hangover Decade" was released in December 2004. Their Third album "Black Market Love" was released in March 2006. Their latest album "Angels And The Outsider" was released in February 2009.

Superman Is Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tak pernah mengeluh dan tak pernah mengalah
Rintangan yang selalu menghadang
Tak gentar kita hadapi walau sangat menyakitkan
Tak kan ada pernah rasa menyesal
Menghormati dan selalu dihormati
Berjuang dengan selalu di depan
We are [3x]... Outsider
We are [3x]... Outsider
Kita singsingkan lengan baju
Kepalkan tangan kita hajar kebodohan
Tau diri, kenal diri dan bisa jaga diri
Pengecut bukanlah jati diri yang sejati
Tunjukan pada dunia, kita manusia yang harus dipuji
Tenanglah hari kita kan menjelang
Bulatkan tekad untuk saling menjaga
Rangkullah yang tak tau arah
Dan buka botol minuman dan mari kita bersulang
Terlihat penuh semangat di matamu
Kita selalu bertemu untuk satu langkah maju
Percaya dan kita harus percaya
Kita tidak rapuh dan tak pernah runtuh
Kita tempuh jarak jauh, kita jaga kebenaran yang utuh...
