GRAMMY-nominated pop/rock group Superchick has said farewell to fans, releasing the band’s final project, Recollection (Inpop Records/Capitol Christian Distribution), in October. The CD/DVD combines five new songs with 11 of the band’s hits. One of the singles, “This Is The Time,” is to be featured in the Pure Flix film God’s Not Dead. “The fans made us real,” Superchick’s founder and band member Max Hsu wrote on Facebook. “We stage-dived into the dark unknown and they caught us and carried us on their shoulders, record after record. Without them, we would have been gone years ago. These final songs are our love letter to everyone who carried us. They are some of our best songs, and I know as a band we’d all be crushed if no one got to hear them.” Superchick has had a difficult year, suffering the loss of the band’s drummer, Chase Lovelace, who died of cancer. While many of the lyrics were written in hospital waiting rooms, the songs are still a celebration of life and hope. “When he first started chemo, Chase called me to say, ‘Don’t finish the record without me; I’m coming back in the fall,’” Hsu recalled. “Some of Chase’s rhythmic creativity lives on in these songs. These new songs are dedicated to his fighting optimism and I hope they honor his memory.” Recollection also takes listeners on a journey from the first Superchick song through to the present day. Having begun in the Chicago area, the band has been together for a decade. |
