The studio album by the new-wave, post-punk band She Wants Revenge, released in 2006 also covers some of the added-on features of a Darkwave, Synthpop group. The band as well as the album cannot be categorized thus in to any one foreboding chamber. There are differing nuances to the entire concept of the album and that throws it apart even when you start clamoring for its place as the neo-darkwave. The 60 plus minutes album is the debut work from the band and surprisingly matured. Produced by Michael Patterson, the album is best understood back to front, like a spy thriller. The cover design on the back shows you only what you miss in the front and that is, the woman is holding a huge knife behind her back!

She Wants Revenge has the added sound that seems likely and also self-admittedly recognized by the band that has been influenced by myriad sounds, including that of Garbage, New Order, Joy Division as well as that of Depeche Mode. However their plethora or dark sarcasm hits at many places at greater degrees that leave us with the open questions. Primarily we are left with the question that even if the music is multifarious how can one live entirely through sarcasm, considering the name of the band. We have seen many bands starting more on the dark and melancholy mood coming into cornered chambers due to their own recalcitrant and confining natures. Even if there is no doubt that the music party of experiments has only started with the band, aren’t we just tad too tired of too much of dark apathy lingering in the air, as much as happy boy bands betook the ‘90s. The question of dark charms overriding the mystery of being proliferated with the greater musical talents of the band will only be delivered with time. Till now we keep humming to She Wants Revenge, alongside Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails.

The important tracks to have made a remarkable wave have been “These Things’’ and “Tear You Apart”. Overall She Wants Revenge is perfectly wonderful creation that also reminds you of more electronicised Danse Society or a lot of early Suicide or The Sisters of Mercy trapped in the cyber spasms of retaliation psychology coming up with the more complex relationships that occur with the coming of age.
