430. Justin Warfield - Warfield/She Wants Revenge

On this episode, we are joined by Justin Warfield(She Wants Revenge) who is in the process of launching an incredible series of music entitled “Deathrock Devotionals” under the moniker Warfield.


“For Justin Warfield, Warfield marks his first proper solo project since co-founding She Wants Revenge in 2004 - “the only recording and touring project I’ve helmed outside of SWR,” he says. While She Wants Revenge continues to perform live and record, Warfield allows him to stretch out and fully lean into the creative and aesthetic instincts that have always pulsed just beneath the surface: cinematic melancholy, playful macabre, and rhythmic intensity".
