She Wants Revenge - Take The World

"She Wants Revenge" is an American musical duo, based in San Fernando Valley, California. Justin Warfield – vocals, guitar, keyboards and Adam Bravin (aka Adam 12) – bass guitar, keyboards, guitar, drum machine, percussion, programming, vocals.
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.

Considered part of the post-punk revival movement of the 00s,the group have been compared to Joy Division or Interpol in the music press because both vocalists (Paul Banks and Justin Warfield) have similarities to the baritone vocal range of Ian Curtis. However, Justin Warfield has stated many times his band is more electronically based often referring to She Wants Revenge as "Dance Music."

Musically, their influences range from the dance of 1980s acts like New Order, Depeche Mode and The Psychedelic Furs to the alternative rock groups of the 1990s, such as Pulp, My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth to the darker rock bands of the New Wave and post-punk movements such as Bauhaus, Danse Society, and The Sisters of Mercy who helped create the aesthetics of the original gothic rock genre.

The group's debut album She Wants Revenge was released in early 2006, with three singles to follow ("These Things," a video for which features Shirley Manson from Garbage, "Out of Control," and "Tear You Apart" for which the video was directed by Joaquin Phoenix). The band has sold more than 300,000 records in the US.The band's second album, This Is Forever, was released on October 9, 2007.The band toured extensively through 2006 with synthpop band Depeche Mode and Placebo.

Their EP, Save Your Soul, was released to iTunes on May 13th, 2008. The EP contained four tracks: "Save Your Soul," "A Hundred Kisses," "Sugar," and "Sleep."
An EP titled Up and Down, was released via iTunes on September 22nd, 2009.

A new video titled "Take The World" was released February 7th 2011, prior to the release of their first single, "Must Be The One". The video was band member Adam Bravin's directorial debut. Filming for "Must Be The One" began on February 8th, and is due release in March. The tentative release date for their third album is slated for May 2011.
