Revenge is the fourth studio album by the American rock band T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty), released in 1986 through Enigma Records. With increased exposure brought on by continuous touring, and influenced by the growing hard rock scene in their native Southern California, the band moved away from the punk- and gothic rock-influenced sound of their past in favor of simpler rock numbers. To promote the album, two songs were used in film soundtracks: "Nothin' for You" in The Return of the Living Dead (1985) and "Revenge" in Dangerously Close (1986). "Revenge" and "Colors (Take Me Away)" were also made into the band's first music videos.

T.S.O.L. toured for almost two years in support of their 1984 album Change Today?, becoming quite popular in their home region of Southern California. With this increased exposure, their music, which had been rooted in punk rock and gothic rock, began to take on elements of the area's growing hard rock scene. However, singer/guitarist Joe Wood insisted that "no matter how much the music changes, our roots are still punk because we never played any instruments before punk." The band recorded Revenge at Music Grinder Studios in Hollywood with producer Howard Benson and recording engineer Ron Goudie. Several additional engineers assisted in the recording, and the tracks were mixed by Benson.

Revenge was released by June 20, 1986 by Enigma Records (catalog number 73211), under a new nationwide distribution deal between Enigma and Capitol Records. Prior to the album's release, the song "Nothin' for You" was used in the soundtrack for the 1985 horror film The Return of the Living Dead. The album's title track was included in the film Dangerously Close, and a music video was filmed that included scenes from the movie. A second music video was filmed for the song "Colors (Take Me Away)".
