>> Siouxsie and the Banshees

Growing out of the London punk scene, Siouxsie and the Banshees soon began to experiment in numerous styles of music, forming a very avant-garde sound. With a style varied and ethereal, the Banshees combine postpunk sounds with pop, psychedelia and the sound of lighter Gothic bands such as the Cure. With layered musical arrangements playing off Siouxsie Sioux's striking voice, the Banshees carved themselves a spot in the British indie rock scene.
