Inpop Records' sister-fronted band Superchick followed up 700,000 career albums sold and 70 film, television, and video game placements with the premiere of its boldest, most unapologetic project to date, 2008's appropriately-titled Rock What You Got.
Three years in the making, Rock What You Got came on the heels of Superchick's most successful album ever, Beauty From Pain, which landed three No. 1 radio singles, including "We Live" and "Stand In The Rain." With this album, Superchick 'rocks what they've got' and reinvents itself with a more progressive, in-your-face sound the band dubbed 'rock-o-tronic.'
Seeking out world changers in the lost corners of a generation, Superchick noisily challenges the status quo, while journaling the band members' battles with depression and cancer in the quieter moments of the record. Produced by the band's own Max Hsu (Superchick, tobyMac, newsboys), Rock What You Got features the stand-out title track in addition to the songs "Breathe," "Crawl," and "Cross The Line," for which Superchick's spring 2008 headlining tour was named, among others.

Bad reviews?| Posted September 25, 2008
I'm not sure I understand the people that gave this a bad review. I have listened to Superchick since I bought Beauty From Pain (awesome album) and was psyched when this came out. I love it. I would put it right up there with Beauty From Pain. I like the songs Alive, Hold, and Hey, Hey.
One More for Superchick| Posted September 22, 2008
Rock What You Got is good. Not Superchick's best, but not bad.
My biggest complaint is the number of tracks. 12 seems like a decent number, but once you take away the unnecessary "Alive" prelude and Dave's "Guitar Hero," and the unmemorable "Stand in the Rain" remix, that leaves only 9 tracks.
Fans of songs like "Anthem" will definitely be pleased, because this CD is filled repetitive, anthem-like songs: "Rock What You Got," "Alive," "Hey Hey," "So Beautiful," "Cross the Line," and "One More." They make for fun, crowd-pleasing concert songs, but here they seem to be a tad bit overabundant.
"Crawl (Carry Me Through)" is a decent slower track, but I found "Breathe" to be simply boring; the lyrics are better and more spiritual than on other songs, but overall lack punch. "Hold" is probably one of my favorites; it's a break from the anthems, but it's not boring.
Does this make it a bad CD? Not at all. If you're looking for something catchy and fun, pick up a copy or download some songs off of iTunes. If you're looking for something with deeper and more spiritual lyrics, look elsewhere.
Superchick - Rock wht you got| Posted August 01, 2008
I loved the new album! Especially Hey Hey! I love the lyrics. Their sound is awesome, and Crawel has some awesome vocals. They have improved each album. Keep up the good work superchic[k]!
Is This All Superchic[k]'s Got?| Posted July 30, 2008
Okay, I'm going to get right to the point. Superchic[k] has a pretty awesome sound, but you can only listen to it for so long. While I applaud their musical outside-the-boxness, the melody is so simple that all of their songs sound like sing-alongs, which does not keep you interested for the entire length of the CD. The lyrics never go very deep, especially on the spiritual level, and you're left wondering how the adult band members can stand to play these songs at every show.
Unless you are 13 or younger I say skip this band; if you continue listening to this stuff there is a possibility of developing an interest in High School Musical!!!
Superchick Rocking What They Got| Posted July 23, 2008
Superchick's new album is definitely a good way to keep their career going. The songs are catchy and upbeat; they will get stuck in your head more often than the tracks from Beauty From Pain. All the lyrics are positive and encouraging, just like in the band's past albums. I would say that a major theme to this album is to life to the fullest not letting other people bring you down, and to stand up for what you believe in and create a revolution (a good kind of revolution)! Listeners often find they can relate to the messages of Superchick's music. This will definitely be true for Rock What You Got. Their new CD may not mention God directly as many times as some have hoped, but it is apparent that God has been working through them to convey positive morals. Superchick continues to inspire listeners with music that just makes people wanna get up and dance.

Superchick`s new cd has a fun, back to the 80`s sound. I love the sound of tricia`s voice on the slower songs 'Breathe' and 'Crawl(Carry Me Through)'.A great Superchick cd!
Another AMAZING album from Superchic[k]| Posted July 06, 2008
I've been a huge fan of Superchic[k] for quite a few years now, and I had pretty high expectations for their newest CD as soon as I heard about it. When I listened to their first single off the album, "Alive," it only heightened those expectations, and I immediately loved what I heard. Once I finally got the CD, I was not disappointed in the least bit. Superchic[k] has an awesome new techno-ish feel to their songs in this CD, which I loved. Honestly, I love every single song on this album. Even my mom was rocking out to "One More." This is a great new CD for any age. Rock on, Superchic[k]!
ROCK longer please.| Posted July 04, 2008
Just got this CD, Its pretty Amazing, all of the songs. Its a nice mix of in your face Rock songs, and songs for the down an out. Superchick does a great job at lifting others up, and this is not exception. I often use songs to help friends that are struggling with suicide and many other problems. and I know I will be using some of these songs to help them. Crawl, Breath, and Hold especially. This album obviously has some really good rock songs, implementing Superchicks signature, One Girl Revolution style. lyrics that say 'Im not going to be trampled and brought down by the world.'
Some of the Guitar riffs are very reminiscent of PETRA in the 80's. A very big plus for the band.
This is a great album, the only thing I wish they had changed, is that it was longer. the album is so good, when its done you are left thinking... its over already! I want more! great album all around.
