Siouxsie (1980)

Siouxsie and the Banshees – brytyjski zespół rockowy założony w 1976 roku w Londynie przez Siouxsie Sioux i Stevena Severina. Grupa reprezentowała styl post-punk (nurt cold wave), a także gatunki nowa fala, rock gotycki i rock alternatywny.

Zespół wykształcił się z punku i grał posępną, refleksyjną muzykę. Był jednym z czołowych przedstawicieli post-punku. Formacja wywarła wpływ na rozwój tego stylu, a także na zespoły takie jak Joy Division[2], The Cure[3], U2[4], The Smiths[5], Radiohead[6][7], PJ Harvey[8][9] i Sonic Youth[10].

W 1978 roku pierwszy singiel grupy, „Hong Kong Garden”, osiągnął wysokie pozycje na listach przebojów. Na początku listopada tego samego roku ukazał się ich pierwszy album, The Scream. Inne najbardziej znane tytuły grupy to „Happy House” (1980), „Christine” (1980), „Spellbound” (1981), „Cities in Dust” (1985), „Peek-a-Boo” (1988) i „Kiss Them For Me” (1991).

W 2022 roku wydano All Souls, kompilacyjny album z 10 utworami, w tym „Spellbound” (użyty w zakończeniu Stranger Things - sezon 4), „Fireworks”, „Peek-a-Boo”[11]. Został wydany na czarnym winylu, a także na pomarańczowym winylu - w limitowanej edycji[12].

He also pinpointed what the 1979 Join Hands tour brought him musically. "On stage that first night with the Banshees, I was blown away by how powerful I felt playing that kind of music. It was so different to what we were doing with the Cure. Before that, I'd wanted us to be like the Buzzcocks or Elvis Costello, the punk Beatles. Being a Banshee really changed my attitude to what I was doing.
