Superchic[k] Joins Columbia Records

|PIC1|Popular Christian band Superchick will re-release their latest album Beauty From Pain 1.1 through Columbia Records this summer.

It was longtime fan of Superchick and Grammy-winning Producer-of-the-Year Steve Lillywhite who brought the group to the Columbia Records roster.

Originally released as Beauty From Pain on Inpop in 2005, Beauty From Pain 1.1 will include the added tracks: "Stand In The Rain," a brand-new song recorded especially for Superchick's major label debut and the Battle Mix version (from 2003's Regeneration) of "One Girl Revolution" (the Superchick breakout tune which premiered on the band's debut album, Karaoke Superstar, and in the blockbuster film, "Legally Blonde," starring Reese Witherspoon).

Beauty From Pain 1.1 will also feature new mixes of the songs "Anthem" and "We Live." "We Live," the first single from Beauty From Pain 1.1, is scheduled to impact radio at all formats on Tuesday, May 16.

"We see pain, hurt and heartache everyday all around us," said Superchick's Melissa Brock about "We Live." "We can choose to let it get us down and depressed, or we could use it to teach us to embrace the moments that we have and live bigger and love stronger. That's what this song is about."

The Chicago-based Superchick is comprised of sisters Tricia Brock (vocals) and Melissa Brock (vocals, guitar), Matt Dally (bass, vocals), Dave Ghazarian (lead guitar, vocals), Brandon Estelle (drums, vocals), and Max Hsu (keyboards/DJ). The group's eight-song demo, recorded in Max's basement, became the core of Superchick's 2001 debut album on Inpop, Karaoke Superstar, which announced the arrival of a "One Girl Revolution."

Superchick and Inpop released Last One Picked in 2002, a remix collection Regeneration in 2003, and, in May 2005, the first edition of Beauty From Pain, a Billboard #1 Heatseeker which has already sold more than 150,000 copies at mainstream retail and specialty outlets/ bookstores. To date, Superchick has sold upwards of 450,000 albums.
