Justin Warfield

Justin Warfield (born 1973) is a musician and hip hop emcee who is currently half of the darkwave band She Wants Revenge. In 1993 he released a hip hop album titled "My Field Trip to Planet 9", which featured production from Prince Paul and QDIII.

Justin Warfield is musically versatile, having been involved in most contemporary Western musical genres in one form or another during his career and seems to choose his projects based on personal interest rather than through career concerns. Instead of a hip-hop follow-up to his debut, for example, he formed a psychedelic rock band that released one album, "The Justin Warfield Supernaut". His projects seldom receive mainstream recognition and tend to baffle the majority but generate small isolated cult followings, due to the drastically differing stylistic choices between each project.

He was a member of the group One-Inch Punch, which released "Tao of the One-Inch Punch" on Hut Records in 1996. Now he is one half of the darkwave duo She Wants Revenge, a project different again from any of his previous incarnations. It is a deliberately caricatured, heavily electronic group that draws influence from bands such as Joy Division, Bauhaus and Depeche Mode to more contemporary groups such as Interpol, and the Faint, cultivating a stylized visual identity in a contemporary analogue to Depeche Mode and the Cure.
