[edit] Biography

She Wants Revenge's sound is influenced by 1980's somber synth and Goth bands like The Cure, Danse Society, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Depeche Mode and Suicide. The lyrical content heavily suggests a tongue-in-cheek parody of teenage angst and high school notebook poetry. The band toured extensively through 2006.
