Introducing Siouxsie and the Banshees 

Siouxsie & the Banshees were a British rock band which formed in 1976. Led by Siouxsie Sioux (vocals) and Steven Severin (bass), the band's only constant members, the Banshees formed at the advent of the British punk rock scene and from 1977 with the arrival of guitarist John McKay and drummer Kenny Morris, they soon forged a original sound on their debut album The Scream that made them one of the major bands in the post-punk movement. After an enforced change of musical direction leading to a redefining of their image, together with new drummer Budgie and guitarist John McGeoch, the Banshees released several highly acclaimed albums throughout the 80's including Kaleidoscope and A Kiss In The Dreamhouse. The band later knew other lineup changes and enjoyed successful singles like "Peek-a-Boo" and "Kiss Them for Me".

Their music influenced a wide range of very diverse bands over the years amongst them The Cure[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=&sql=11:hifpxqe5ld6e allmusic.com AMG The Cure page, see under 'influenced by'], Massive Attack,universalmusic.fr The Jackal cd details, Massive Attack credits of Super predators(Metal Postcard) music composed by Siouxsie & the Banshees Garbagepeople.monstersandcritics.com biography of Shirley Manson, singer and author of the lyrics of Garbage. favourite singer : Siouxsie and more recently LCD Soundsystem.ireallylovemusic.co.uk interview and concert review of LCD Soundsystem mentioning their cover of a Siouxsie song called "slowdive"

Some writers pinned the Banshees down by the curt epithet gothic rock although the singer always rejected this label. The Band disbanded in 1996, with Sioux and Budgie continuing to record music as The Creatures, a side project they had started in the 1980s. The band reunited briefly for a tour in 2002 and Siouxsie later embarked on a solo career.
