When California 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.

1. WHO DO YOU CREDIT YOUR STYLE OF MUSIC TO AND DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE TAKING IT ONE STEP FURTHER?

We credit our style of music to all the music we listened to growing up, from childhood into our teens. From the music our parents listened to which included 60s and 70s funk and soul, classical, jazz and rock to the music we discovered on our own as we got older, new wave and hip hop. From bands like Depeche Mode, The Smiths, The Cure, The Psychadelic Furs and Bauhaus to Prince to Bowie and Dylan, even Beethoven and Miles Davis. Throw in a little Run D.M.C., .Public Enemy, Jungle Brothers and Tribe and you've go yourself a good beginning as to our musical influences. As far as taking any of this music to the next level, we would never assume that responsibiliy. We just make honest music that incorporates the sounds and feelings of the music that meant so much to us at such an important time in our lives.
