Day 0426 - The Scream

Siouxsie and the Banshees "The Scream" (1978)


Another one of those ones where I knew the band's name well but couldn't tell you if I'd heard any of their music (though I feel like I buzzed through some youtube clips a few years back).

This is alright, but I wouldn't say that I'm in love with the band just yet. It's an okay album that mixes the rawness and lo-fi recording style of punk with a doomier wailing goth flavour. Pounding drums and buoyant bass are overlaid with guitar that goes between punky rock and proto-shoegaze.
