They’re back with their third full-length album. Filled with melancholy and yearning and yet rocking nicely, the new album should please fans and maybe more. Check it out.
A piece of the press release:
With Valleyheart — their third full-length offering — She Wants Revenge has achieved the kind of dynamic catharsis every band hopes it will survive long enough to experience: rising up out of their diverse influences, She Wants Revenge has taken flight, fully realizing a sound all their own.
Following the success of their self-titled debut, its follow up This Is Forever, and years of international touring, She Wants Revenge’s core duo of Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin departed their major label and took a much-needed hiatus to pursue their other interests. During this time Adam began work on a solo album, dove headfirst into his photography and toured the country as a sought-after DJ, while Justin wrote several film and TV projects, scored commercials, and honed his skills as an engineer and mixer.
Soon after, however, they came back together to produce a number of projects, from a collaboration with Emily The Strange creator Cosmic Debris and duo IO Echo, to co-writing and producing fellow Angelenos Nico Vega, remixing a lost French post-punk rarity for a project being helmed by their friend Cut Chemist, and writing and recording two self-released EPs, the dreamy and emotive rock of Save Your Soul and the dance-funk of Up and Down.
Refreshed and inspired, the boys got back to their roots, touring incessantly, sometimes taking their music to the people in a van like the early days. It was during this period that they grew as musicians and a unit while further endearing themselves to their steadily growing fan base. Now more than ever they are a bona fide four-piece rock band, and aided by their longtime associates drummer Scott Ellis and guitarist Thomas Froggatt, Warfield and Bravin returned to the studio to craft the vision that had been taking shape in their heads: a loosely-rendered conceptual effort playing out in the band’s beloved San Fernando Valley.
Funnily enough, after years of living on the road, it was looking homeward to the neighborhood they both grew up in that became the launching point for the third LP they were so eager to make. For two kids who came of age in this small town just over the hill from Hollywood, the memories, feelings, images and sounds all came back in a rush; now all they had to do was interpret that sentiment in a way that was at once evocative and wholly their own.
One is reminded throughout Valleyheart that humans, no matter where they are or how far they’ve come, will endlessly struggle to connect with someone who makes them feel good and yet somewhat bad too. In a sense, the band’s driving two-headed engine in Justin and Adam is writing songs that never get old ¬ of a couple against the world, and at times one another, two hearts twisted as one.

And good choice of Sick Puppies. We saw them live a couple years ago and they were very good.
