So I listen to Left of Center on Sirius radio constantly. They play a pretty good mix of indie/alt/college kind of stuff. Lately though they've been playing She Wants Revenge a lot. I really don't think they're all that great. Yeah their music sounds like Depeche Mode, and the guy is trying to sing like Joy Division/Interpol, but I don't think they're doing either particularly well. Then I saw a banner add for them on the QC main site. Okay, so I must be missing something. Why does everyone like them? Is there something behind the synths and monotone singing that I just don't get? I want to like this band, like everyone else seems to, but I just don't hear anything that great.

Judging from their name they are pretty much predestined to suck.
But then again I am a snob :)
A question though, why would you want to like something that you do not find any merit in?
-
In my experience, people don't actually like this band, but they're composed of a couple of high-level scenesters from NY, and so people feel like they have to like it. A bit like A.R.E. Weapons, although the album is nowhere near as pathetic as that trainwreck.
-
Just because there is a banner ad for them, it doesn't mean that Jeph likes them, or that people like them in general. His ads come from indieclick (if I remember correctly) so he doesn't really choose what goes on the site.
Anyways, their cover art made me make a mental note to avoid them.
-
fucking horrible.
-
Well I'm glad I'm not crazy. I didn't know whether or not the QC man liked them, but I figured if they had a banner on QC, and people keep talking about them like they're the next big thing, that maybe there was something I was missing. Guess not.
-
I don't know who they are, but with a name like that they MUST be fucking shit. Can anyone say "Bullet For a Valentine" cliche?
-
Why does she want revenge?
BECAUSE SOMEBODY BROKE HER HEART! WITH TEARS!

My Bloody Valentine?
Anyway, She Wants Revenge are nowhere near as bad as Panic! at the Disco. The local alt rock station (which I listen to in the car) has really taken to them. I have to switch to the classical station every time they come on because it's the only other thing on the radio that doesn't suck ass. Sigh.

MBV is named after a crappy horror film and has nothing to do with HEARTS BROKEN BY FEELINGS OF SADNESS AND DISILLUSIONMENT, TRAMPLED ON BY MY ONE TRUE LOVE!
-
I've never listened to them, but I can imagine that they're not worse than Bullet for a Valentine.
-

My Bloody Valentine?
there's a difference between my bloody valentine and bullet for my valentine, you know? just saying, in case anyone didn't realize that.
-
I think he was talking about that other band, She Is Broken by Her Valentine's Revenge. Or something.
-
She Wants Revenge of the Sith
-
That's awesome.
-
She Wants Revenge of the Sith
Didn't I see them supporting Alt+666?

If you dont like a band, then dont like them, just like that. Nothing to it. No one's forcing you...or are they?
-
I am.
LEOPARD SKIN PILL BOX HAT!
*you had to be there, in that other thread, I guess
-
Dude, I hate you.
-
Don't hate me because I am right. You love it.
