SWR

When I saw Bloc Party in June, She Wants Revenge was opening. I really didn't want to like them. I thought the band's name was stupid, and when they came on stage I thought they were gonna be awful. Surprisingly to me, I actually liked them. They sound so much like a sexier Interpol that it's amazing. The band is essentially two guys, with bass and occasionally a guitar and a drum machine. Live they had a drummer but on record it's just a machine I think. They've got a self-titled album coming out soon and it's pretty good. The songs are kind've samey and the lyrics seem a bit forced but usually they're good songs. Central Village had this to say:
I dunno what to think about She Wants Revenge. I'd love to like them, but the album feels a bit off. There are a few solid songs, but the whole thing seems too artificial. Like a plastic vampire you buy at Wal-Mart or something.
