out of all the bands to emerge from the original uk punk scene and later the post punk and goth rock scenes, siouxsie and the banshees still remain one of the most influential. quite simply, they were magnificent. john peel was the only dj to play punk and was genuinely baffled by the fact that siouxsie and the banshees were unsigned, unsuccessfully attempting to get them a deal with bbc records. their first two sessions for john went on to form the bulk of their first album 'the scream' and was the first airing of 'honk kong garden', the track that crashed into the top 10 when, having secured a deal with polydor, the band finally released their debut single. the band went on to record another 3 sessions for john featuring tracks that would appear on 'join hands', 'juju' and 'tinderbox'. by then the world had turned, siouxsie and the banshees were playing sell out tours and were play-listed on day time radio 1. john peel was still doing what he always did. playing great records.
