She Wants Revenge July 14, 2007

Los Angeles DJs Justin Warfield and Adam "Adam 12" Bravin are the the moody, Joy Division-inspired duo She Wants Revenge. Since forming in 2003, a combination of word of mouth, industry connections and select radio airplay provided them 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. San Diego's Louis XIV formed with much of the lineup as the rootsy, alt-rocking band Convoy, which issued an album called 'Black Licorice' in 2001. Vocalist/guitarists Jason Hill and Brian Karscig and drummer Mark Maigaard hooked up with bassist Jimmy Armbrust and began fleshing out Louis XIV, whose sound is built on irreverent, oversexed lyrics and songwriting that channels glam, scratchy punk and vintage Rolling Stones.
