Due to a broad array of musical influences, and a reluctance to stick to a single genre of music, She Wants Revenge's genre is often disputed. They have been often labeled under the umbrella term 'Darkwave' which covers several genres associated with the band.

[b]Biography[/b] She Wants Revenge is an American music duo, based in San Fernando Valley, California. Their debut album (named after the band itself 'She Wants Revenge') was released in early 2006, with three singles to follow ("These Things", which features Shirley Manson from Garbage, "Out of Control" and "Tear You Apart" for which the video was directed by Joaquin Phoenix). The band's second album, This Is Forever, was released on October 9, 2007.

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. By retracing the musical footsteps of their childhood, they struck a nerve in music fans everywhere, with their tales of betrayal, lies, and deceit. 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. 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.

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, along with tours with Bloc Party, The Kills, and Placebo most recently.

Now it's their second round with the album release of "This Is Forever". '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 even darker in tone.
