Siouxsie and the Banshees were a U.K. band formed in 1976, fronted by Siouxsie Sioux on vocals, with Steven Severin playing bass. Budgie on drums joined them in 1980. The band had various guitarists including Marco Pirroni, John McKay, John McGeoch, and Robert Smith of The Cure. Martin McCarrick was their full-time keyboard player from 1987 onwards. They disbanded in April 1996 but reunited for 'The Seven Year Itch' Tour in 2003.Siouxsie Sioux (Susan Janet Ballion) is known for her distinctive vocal style and powerful stage presence. She has been an influential figure in the punk and post-punk movements.Their music blends elements of punk rock, new wave, gothic rock, and alternative rock to create a unique sound that has inspired countless artists across genres.

New Wave / Post Punk

Of all the Banshees albums, their final The Rapture 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 – The Rapture 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.

LP - Remastered from the original ¼” tapes and cut at half speed at Abbey Road studios, London. Both artwork and audio have personally been overseen and orchestrated by Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin. Only ever released on Gatefold Double vinyl outside of the UK, The Rapture’s artwork has been reimagined and designed to rightly reflect this final Banshees offering.

CD - Remastered with Bonus tracks - Manhattan Mix of 'O Bab, FGM and New Skin (unreleased Showgirls version).
