Band: SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES

Album: THE SCREAM – debut longplayer

Released: 13 November 1978 – 40 years ago

ALL MUSIC review: “After building up an intense live reputation and a rabid fan base,
Siouxsie and the Banshees almost had to debut with a stunner, which they did, “Hong Kong Garden” taking care of things on the singles front and The Scream on the full-length. Matched with a downright creepy cover and a fair enough early producing effort from Steve Lillywhite, well before he found gated drum sounds, it’s a fine balance of the early band’s talents. Siouxsie Sioux herself shows the distinct, commanding voice and lyrical meditations on fractured lives and situations that would win her well-deserved attention over the years.”

TURN UP THE VOLUME! says: Most controversial, bizarre and weirdly attractive debut punk album I experienced. Voodoo-like stuff and black magic. Dazzling!
