Siouxsie and the Banshees

Of all the Banshees albums, their final&nbsp;<i>The Rapture&nbsp;</i>is their most wildly schizophrenic and arguably their most ambitious. Half of the album was produced by Velvet Underground alumnus and art rock pioneer John Cale, while the band took control of the rest. The 11th and final studio album from Siouxsie and the Banshees –&nbsp;<i>The Rapture</i>&nbsp;was also as fresh and innovative as the first. How the Banshees are able to remain vital and celebrated after almost two decades is down to their ever evolving and metamorphic spirit.
