Siouxsie and the Banshees (pronúncia ˈsuːzi æn ðə ˈbænʃiːz) foi uma banda inglesa de rock formada em Londres em 1976 por Siouxsie Sioux (vocalista) e Steven Severin (baixista). O grupo foi considerado um dos pioneiros do pós-punk.[3] Sua música evoluiu constantemente ao longo de seus vinte anos de existência. A banda se separou em 1996. Entre seus principais sucessos destacam-se as canções "Hong Kong Garden", "Happy House", "Christine", "Spellbound", "Cities in Dust", "Peek-a-Boo" e "Kiss Them for Me".

A música de Siouxsie and the Banshees foi muito influente. Bandas como Joy Division,[4] The Cure,[5] Depeche Mode,[6] The Smiths,[7] Massive Attack,[8] Radiohead,[9] e PJ Harvey,[10] os citaram como referências.

Siouxsie and the Banshees were one of our big influences [...] The Banshees first LP was one of my favourite ever records, the way the guitarist and the drummer played was a really unusual way of playing.

It would be Siouxsie and the Banshees to whom I most felt some kind of affinity. [...] the bass-led rhythm, the way first drummer Kenny Morris played mostly toms. [...] The banshees had that [...] foreboding sound, sketching out the future from the dark of the past. [...] hearing the sessions they'd done on John Peel's show and reading gigs write-ups, [...] they sounded interesting.

    Oldham, James (fevereiro 2000). «Bad Medicine». Uncut. I think the final straw came when I played Michael the demos for the next album and he hated them. He wanted us to be XTC part 2 and – if anything – I wanted us to be the Banshees part 2. 

    Fitzpatrick, Rob (agosto 2012). «Robert Smith interview». The Word. Consultado em 15 de agosto de 2016. I played with the Banshees through our first tour [1979], and it allowed me to think beyond what we were doing. I wanted to have a band that does what Steve Severin and Budgie do, where they just get a bassline and the drum part and Siouxsie wails. .

    Mark Paytress. "Siouxsie and the Banshees the Authorized Biography". Sanctuary publishing. 2003. Robert Smith: "Siouxsie and the Banshees and Wire were the two bands I really admired. They meant something. On stage that first night with the Banshees, I was blown away by how powerful I felt playing that kind of music. It was so different to what we were doing with the Cure. Before that, I'd wanted us to be like the Buzzcocks or Elvis Costello, the punk Beatles. Being a Banshee really changed my attitude to what I was doing.

Q: Was there any figure who connected with you when you were just a listener? A: It's hard to beat Siouxsie Sioux, in terms of live performance. She is so exciting to watch, so full of energy and human raw quality.
