She Wants Revenge!!!

She Wants Revenge Album Cover

What’s she holding behind her back? You’re gonna have to buy the album to find out! And considering it’s going for under $10 just about everywhere, consider it a steal.

Someone shoot this Sifter in the face! I just found out I missed this band’s local concert by 3 days! They played this past Saturday night in a local small venue: Berbati’s Pan in downtown Portland. By tonight, they’re already in Vancouver, BC.

Yes, I would fly to see them if I had tomorrow off!

She Wants Revenge is out of Los Angeles and plays music in the same vein as all your favorite New Wave bands from the 80’s. Think: Joy Division, New Order, Bauhaus, The Cure, Depeche Mode, and even a sprinkle of Sisters of Mercy, ALL ROLLED INTO ONE!!!

The Propaganda Sifter recommends this band highly. Their site links to the video for Tear You Apart, which happens to be teh roxxors bad-ass!

Yeah, they pretty much rip off Bauhaus’ intro to Bela Lugosi’s Dead, but they do it in such a way that makes it seem fresh and adequately twisted–more of an homage than a hip-hop style, sampling jack.

Not only does this band pay tribute up the yin-yang to Depeche Mode, they’re opening up for them on their upcoming tour! O, what we would pay for tickets to Coachella….

$86!!! Oh, HELL NO!

  1. I knew nothing about SWR, but, while at Tower, I was listening to the new albums and the first thing I thought – Did Bauhaus come back with a new name? Seriously, the first song sounds like Bela Lugosi’s Dead so much that, after I bought the album (it does have a catchy sound), I rushed back to work to see if SWR was Bauhaus revitalized. To my disappointed, it was two hip-hoppers releasing an album to get on the alternative bandwagon. However, looking beyond that, the music is good, in a goth sort of way. I would give it a 6 out of 10.
