She Wants Revenge

PERSONA GRATA presents She Wants Revenge, the dark-alternative duo who first exploded onto the scene with the 2005 hit and dancefloor classic "Tear You Apart", have reformed after a two-and-a-half-year split, with tour dates, a new programme and their first album in over 10 years.

For childhood friends Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin, She Wants Revenge began as a production duo making tracks for DJs in clubs. But when a three-track CD was passed to a friend, they signed to Geffen Records, and their demos soon became the basis of the self-titled 2005 LP.

They hit the road supporting Bloc Party, The Kills and OKGO, and during one of their cross-country runs, their dark, minimalist comeback with heavy bass, "Tear You Apart", became a real success.

Soon they were opening for Depeche Mode, The Psychedelic Furs and Placebo, co-headlining with Peter Murphy of Bauhaus, and headlining Coachella alongside Daft Punk.

Within less than a year, the odd song they thought sounded like an evil version of the B52s or Wall of Voodoo took them around the late-night talk show circuit, and with the singles "Out of Control" and "These Things" also climbing the charts, they sold more than 300,000 albums just as streaming began radically reshaping the music industry.
