SHE WANTS REVENGE Vinilo y CD

Review: The American gothic rock and post-punk band She Wants Revenge - formed by founding members Adam Bravin and Justin Warfield in 2004 - hears a reissue of their second album 'This Is Forever' from 2007. A fascinating continuation of the gothic post-punk sound in an era in which it wasn't exactly fashionable, Bravin and Warfield present a brilliant mashup of eerie, gamey electronica and eye-popping, authentic punk here. The record opens with the looming piano castellations of 'First, Love' - a boom-boom-pow instrumental intro that suggests every grim, bloodthirsty motif you need to know, without saying a word - then the real carnage ensues with the likes of 'Written In Blood', 'True Romance', 'She Will Always Be A Broken Girl' and 'Rachel', all of which together tell a fierce tale of high-stakes heartbreak and redded redress; electrified punk, fallen women.

Review: Californian noughties post-punk revivalists She Wants Revenge are a must for any fans of Interpol. In paying homage to greats such as The Cure and The Chamelons, they wear their UK post-punk influence on their sleeve and do it with conviction, style and their own personality. Blessed to have been mixed by one of the best in the business in Michael Patterson (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Beck) there's no denying it's an audiophile achievement - a big sounding major label rock album that's now getting reissued. Of the singles here, 'Tear You Apart' is a risque banger and probably not one to put on loud when the grandparents are visiting.
