About
When Calif. based She Wants Revenge released their debut album back
in early 2006, it fast became apparent that they had created the
soundtrack for the dark and debaucherous on many-a-dance-floors
across the nation.
Much like their Electronic Rock fore-fathers; Dave Gahan, Rob Smith
and Ian Curtis had done so before, She Wants Revenge offered a voice
and a rhythm for scorned lovers, bored housewives, jaded hipsters,
gender-benders and club-kids across the nation, all seductively
swaying their hips and pouting along to the undeniably catchy tunes
such as These Things, Out of Control and the instant cross over hit
Tear You Apart.
By retracing the musical footsteps of their childhood, they struck a
nerve in music fans everywhere, with their tales of betrayal, lies,
and deceit. They went on to sell more than 300,000 copies in the USA
alone. The band had realized that music fans craved more than the
average love song, and if they were going to write songs, they wanted
to explore the sides of male-female dynamics that are usually left
unexplored and unexamined.
Set to an infectious beat, they decided to sing about things you
shouldn't do, and the things one does when no one is looking.
One song that encapsulated all of the above was their first single
“Tear You Apart”, it soon became a Top 5 Alt. Radio Single and was
one of the biggest hits and radio spun tunes of 2006. Joaquin Phoenix
went on to direct the video for the single which gained heavy
rotation on all the leading networks, reached the homes of millions
and secured a credible place in most critics and fans heads and
almost everyone's record collections, myspace page and dance floors
around.
Shortly after, they were invited to share a several dates with idol
Brit pioneers Depeche Mode, in a surreal and symbolic passing of the
baton, She Wants Revenge began to realize that the music they had
lovingly written was beginning to reach a far larger audience than
they had ever imagined. They went on to appear on all leading late
night television shows including Conan, Letterman, Kimmel and Leno
along with tours with Bloc Party, The Kills, and Placebo most recently.
Now it's their second round, and with the upcoming album release of
“This Is Forever” (Geffen) out on Oct ** - Justin Warfield and
musical partner “Adam 12” Bravin have done what few new bands have
managed to do - to not only beat the sophomore slump, but to have
recorded an album that some would argue actually beats their
impressive debut.
This Is Forever continues where their self-titled debut left off, a
figurative morning after to the dance of the night before. Still
continuing on the same path of creating thought provoking and
emotional dance music, the album deals in the familiar themes of
love, loss, and betrayal, yet somehow even darker in tone, with beats
that bang even harder, and if it's possible, even catchier songs...a
tall feat, but one they welcomed with open arms. With no intention of
playing it safe this time out, the guys have crafted a challenging
and compelling album that they are proud to present to their loyal
fans and the uninitiated alike.
