She Wants Revenge - self-titled

I figured that with a name like She Wants Revenge this band had to be emo, there is just no way you would give a band such a name if you weren't emo. But then the name suggests the band has a slightly darker side than emo and indeed they do.

AMG hit in spot on when they quoted Joy Division as the bands inspiration (whether the band were actually inspired by Joy Division or not remains irrelevant as it does wonders to describe the music). It's a bit down beat and gothy for emo similar to say Godsmack, there is a hint of emo in there but it's not on the same scale as the major bands of the genre.

It's a good album but it's quite long in the rifts for an emo fan. Don't get me wrong though - there is emo to be had in here. If a little darker than most.
