All the first wave UK Punk Bands had their own take/style on the genrething. The Sex Pistols were the troublemakers. The Clash were the political ones. Buzzcocks championed indie and pop-punk. But Siouxsie and the Banshees throughout their career were many things. Incompetent noisemerchants. Cold wave innovators. Jet black pop darlings. But most see them as the designers of gothic rock, even if the band hated the association. 1981’s Juju is their darkest, bleakest release, with tales of voyeurism, murder and shadowy magic, shot through with the fluid post-punk invention of guitarist John McGeoch. But yet it also features the band at their most pop, Siouxsie Sioux’s melodious siren call entrancing the Top of the Pops crowd as well as her Sioux-ettes. This is New British Canon and this is the story of “Spellbound.”

And it would great if you'd make more videos of Goth bands. Like maybe Fields of the Nephilim or Clan Of Xymox. Fields Of The Nephilim is an interesting Goth rock band. Because they included elements of psychedelic rock and a wee bit of heavy metal. And Clan Of Xymox is seen as a very important band. Gor being the band who defined Darkwave music a very important sub-genre for the subculture.

So good that you've focused on the first, most intriguing period of Siouxsie. "Spellboud" and "Arabian Knights" are thrilling numbers. After 1981 there were ups and downs, but I always admired how much this band has developed - from simple songs like "Hong Kong Garden" to orchestral arrangements in "Dazzle" "Overground" or amazing "Swimming Horses". Siouxsie is in a class of its own, always credible as a singer and songwriter.

I was lucky enough to see S&tB perform live on three occasions - once while I was still in high school. I’ve adored Siouxsie for decades. Her voice, lyrics, and musicality are just brilliant and very sophisticated. Budgie and the boys also *never* got the RESPECT they deserved. As much as I loved/love their recorded work, their presence on stage as live performers - specifically Siouxsie - was both gorgeous and devastating - that sounds like a strange characterization but Siouxsie had a much more energetic and *forceful* stage presence, combined with that beautifully unique voice, than I expected for some reason. It was simultaneously aggressive (still a punkish vibe even if they don’t like that term) and extremely seductive. Her moves were so graceful and feline but also extremely direct and powerful - and she uses that voice like a whip. It’s amazing.

I heard it as a kid on MTV in the early 80s amidst a sea of limp synth-pop and cheesy heavy metal and it completely captivated me. The drums, the guitar, her voice, the galloping driving rhythm, and it was so atmospheric. It really planted the seeds for the kind of music I was attracted to from then on. Juju remains one of my favorite albums of all time.

Siouxsie at one time refused to perform on MTV because they wanted to flash only her name in the background. There are no words for their music. It was so different and so addictive that my favorite album changes all the time! As for JuJu, Monitor and Headcut really captured my attention when I first heard the album. I first discovered SATB in 1998. A friend of mine handed me a copy of Twice Upon A Time. I kick myself on this next part, I let that CD sit on my shelf for almost TWO WEEKS before I listened to it........I was never the same! I consider myself very lucky that I was a fanatic of SATB by the time they decided to reunite for the Seven Year Itch Tour! I was there for 4 shows during that tour! Amazing!

I first discovered Siouxsie & The Banshees from Mindless Self Indulgence sampling "Happy House" in "Bitches" in 2000. Very mysterious and dark sounding little riff.

Thank you very much for that amazing work, as usual. Siouxie and the banshees are, and always will be, a source of inspiration and deep respect. They impacted so many, whilst being not enough under the sunlights. Keep up the good work !

Brilliant. Love your vids, dude. keep them coming. Anyway, we Moshed a lot to bureaucracy at a club I went to in Columbus, Ohio during the mid '80s. I was a high school punk who quickly realized it was a limiting genre in college. I mean, the Ramones "Beat on the Brat," or the Pistol's "Holiday in the Sun" were terrific tunes... and Black Flag, minor Threat and the DK even harder... but you needed a sonic chaser after a shot of these guys. That's why I love Siouxsie so much: she reintroduced melody and song-writing. She helped create the post-puink explosion I came of age in: Talking Heads, the Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, Lush, the Jesus and Mary Chain, etc. Plus, until this video, I'd forgotten about "Peekaboo." Holy crap. her most popular tune, and I'd forgotten how good a song it is.
