RC Special Siouxsie and the Banshees

Record Collector Presents… Siouxsie & The Banshees

It’s almost half a century since Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin formed Siouxsie &The Banshees in London, one of the most colourful and influential bands of the post-punk era and beyond.

Record Collector Presents… Siouxsie & The Banshees revisits the band’s career in detail from their formative years emerging from London’s punk scene. It charts their diverse, psychedelic and experimental evolution that has ensured universal kudos from critics and fans. We also take a look at the post-Banshees catalogue - The Creatures and The Glove - through to Siouxsie’s solo material and various collaborations.

 In this special issue, we speak exclusively to Steve Severin about his musical journey alongside Siouxsie, long-time guitarist Jon Klein on his expansive work with the Banshees, Mike Hedges about his exploits producing the band, and Billy Chainsaw, the editor of the band’s fan club and magazine, and their personal assistant for many years.
