The Sex Pistols were the troublemakers. The Clash were the political ones. Buzzcocks championed indie and pop-punk. But Siouxsie and the Banshees throughout their career were many things. Incompetent noisemerchants. Cold wave innovators. Jet black pop darlings. But most see them as the designers of gothic rock, even if the band hated the association. 1981’s Juju is their darkest, bleakest release, with tales of voyeurism, murder and shadowy magic, shot through with the fluid post-punk invention of guitarist John McGeoch. But yet it also features the band at their most pop, Siouxsie Sioux’s melodious siren call entrancing the Top of the Pops crowd as well as her Sioux-ettes. This is New British Canon and this is the story of “Spellbound.” #SiouxsieandtheBanshees #Goth #MusicDocumentary This video is sponsored by Skillshare. Fact-checking by Serenity Autumn.
