Siouxsie and the Banshees were an English rock band formed in London in 1976 by vocalist
Siouxsie Sioux and bass guitarist
Steven Severin. Initially associated with the English
punk rock scene, the band rapidly evolved to create "a form of
post-punk discord full of daring rhythmic and sonic experimentation".
The Times cited Siouxsie and the Banshees as "one of the most audacious and uncompromising musical adventurers of the post-punk era."
