Los Angeles DJs
Justin Warfield and
Adam "Adam 12" Bravin formed the moody,
Joy Division-inspired
She Wants Revenge in 2003. A fortuitous combination of word of mouth, industry connections, and airplay on Sirius Satellite Radio and West Coast airwave giant KCRW provided the duo with enough exposure to snag a record deal with Geffen, resulting in a 2006 self-titled release that has drawn comparisons to
Interpol, early
Depeche Mode, and
the Bravery, as well as their aforementioned eternally depressed post-punk heroes from England. After touring with
Depeche Mode, they returned with 2007's
This Is Forever. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
