Free Music Notes for She Wants Revenge
Free Music Review: Enjoy The Silence
Hit: 5 Stars
Goth DJs, rivetheads, maybe even as far as steampunk-fans can and will succumb to this album. In saying that, expect a type of darkwave before the time of growling/screaming (eg. :wumpscut:, Das Ich, etc.), or the operatic Beauty-and-The-Beast type (female vs. male vocals, eg. Lacrimosa).
Imagine Faith/Pornography-era The Cure, covering everything from Dark Entries to Bela Lugosi's Dead (Bauhaus), with an added club-orientated edge, and you're near to a decent comparison of She Wants Revenge's music. As well as their - dear I say - 'gothic' overtones, their dominant and sexual themes set them apart from your Joy Divisions, Interpols, The Killers etc. Save those bands for first listens, because everything here on in appeals to much more mature fans of music.
Track-to-track this album is classic in it's own sense, making their new wave (Psychedelic Furs, New Order) influences clear, at the same time bringing every goth-rock group under the sun to mind - even going as far to mistake Justin Warfield's vocals for Rozz Williams' (Christian Death) on their hauntingly beautiful track "Us". Funnily enough, Ex-Christian Death member Eva O had covered that very song. Other darkly-favorite tracks from the album have to be "Tear You Apart"/"Out of Control" for the Bauhaus fans, "These Things" for Siouxsie/The Cure fans and "Monologue" for Depeche Mode ones.
The closest album to this has to be Clan of Xymox's self titled debut: Clan of Xymox. 99% similar in sound and influences, minus the addition of female vox. However song #3, the fun indie-electro number "I Don't Wanna Fall In Love", stands out like a sore thumb amongst the others, sounding like a track off of Of Faith, Power and Glory or Judgement, from VNV Nation's recent years, though still delivers.
They aimed to revive the music of their youth as mentioned above, though seemed to delve much deeper. You can play She Wants Revenge alongside industrial no sweat... alongside darkwave no sweat... alongside dark electro/futurepop no sweat. All in all a very worthy start. Their second album, This Is Forever got more minimal, proving less is definitely more. And with their 3rd album on the way, She Wants Revenge is definitely a band to keep an eye out for.
She Wants Revenge Poster
Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin (aka DJ Adam 12) met as kids in the San Fernando Valley in 1986. Growing up listening to everything from Run DMC and Public Enemy to The Cure, Prince and Depeche Mode, they would each develop as musicians, djs and producers, pursuing critically acclaimed careers, each in their own right. They assembled a live band to accompany them, and after only 3 mind-blowing hometown shows, set out on two legs of the North American Bloc Party tour. Since then they have played in the UK, and have begun to amass a sizeable local following in Los Angeles, opening for such acts as The Raveonettes, Moving Units, The Kills, Bloc Party, and OK Go.If the comics on Saturday Night Live ever wanted to spoof the current line of mascara-painted '80s revivalists such as the Killers and Bravery, it's unlikely their efforts would be nearly as successful as She Wants Revenge. It's not that the Los Angeles duo made up of party DJ Adam Bravin and former De La Soul copycat Justin Warfield means for its self-titled debut to be funny. But the group's one-note impression of dark new wave acts like Joy Division, The Cure and Bauhaus is just so blatant--from the ominous bass-lines and fawning band name (Peter Hook's New Order side project was called Revenge) to song titles such as "Tear You Apart" (Ian Curtis fans would be right to notice the similarities to their beloved "Love Will Tear Us Apart") and Goth 101 lyrics ("Take your hand, and smack me in the mouth, my love") -- it's hard not to laugh. --Aidin Vaziri
