She Wants Revenge rose out of the San Fernando Valley as a two-man operation: Justin Warfield singing and playing guitar, Adam Bravin handling just about every other instrument. They built their songs from drum machines, chilly synths and bass lines with a long, gloomy memory. Post-punk, darkwave and goth were the reference points, and the mood was pure after-hours: cool, seductive and a little dangerous.

The self-titled debut arrived in early 2006 through Flawless and Geffen, and it was all atmosphere. "Tear You Apart", their biggest hit, crept along on a heartbeat pulse before snapping into a chorus full of menace, while "These Things" and the twitchy "Out of Control" kept the dance floor lit only by strobes. This Is Forever followed in 2007 with "True Romance", and Valleyheart in 2011 brought "Take the World", a warmer, more widescreen turn.

The band eventually called it a day, then came back together more than once to keep the black candles burning.
