The band got their name from the Latin word "superbus", meaning proud, supposedly when lead singer Jennifer Ayache stumbled upon that word while browsing a Latin dictionary.

Superbus' style is reminiscent of a vast array of bands, from No Doubt to Weezer, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Sublime.

In 2002, Superbus released their debut album, A?romusical. The band's second album, Pop'n'Gum, released in 2004, was produced by David Salsedo from Silmarils.
