Siouxsie and the Banshees, led by the magnetic Siouxsie Sioux, emerged in the late 1970s as one of the defining forces of British post-punk and gothic rock. With their dark and innovative sound, the band blended punk dissonance with icy atmospheres and a voice instantly recognizable. True pioneers of the cold wave movement, they managed to merge power, mystery, and elegance into a single, haunting identity.

Seminal albums like Juju (1981), Kaleidoscope (1980) and Peepshow (1988) left an indelible mark on generations of musicians, inspiring artists such as The Cure, PJ Harvey, and The Smashing Pumpkins. Ever-evolving, Siouxsie reinvented her sound with each release, combining sonic experimentation with an uncompromising artistic vision. Her commanding stage presence and avant-garde aesthetic made her an icon of the alternative scene.
