The US pop-rock sensation Superchick are mid-way through their most heavily supported release to date.

Rock What You Got brings the band out of the shadows and to the attention of a wider audience who are sure to lap up the energy, the production and sheer sweat-stained passion of the whole thing.

Don't be fooled by the name; Superchick is no plastic-headed Barbie doll band. A little punk here, a little Bjork there, a whole load of atmosphere and truth laced throughout; Superchick are part feel-good, part feel-it-all.

"Superchick fans have been waiting a long time for a new album, and Rock What You Got does not disappoint," says Shara Katerberg, director of marketing for Inpop Records.

Superchick's first album in three years, Rock What You Got finds the band honing a rock-o-tronic sound, an electro-punk mash-up of slashing guitars, pulsing keyboards and grit-pop vocals.

While Superchick's last album, Beauty From Pain, sought to empathise with listeners' pain, band members have since walked their own dark, lonely roads with relationship splits and cancer touching four of their families.

Rather than expound upon these personal hardships, Superchick turned Rock What You Got, produced by the band's own Max Hsu (tobyMac, newsboys), into a battle cry to charge onward.

The result? This might just be one US export that has plenty to declare.
