Summary

Siouxsie & The Banshees were the original punk fans who refused to bow to the movement's limited, three-chord convention and encroaching laddishness. Elitist and edgy, glamorous and experimental, they were the driving force for post-punk bands such as PiL and Joy Division, deviant pop obsessives who refused to become straitjacketed by their cultish mien. But hanging on to their independence came at a price. Siouxsie & The Banshees -- The Authorised Biography reveals how countless behind-the-scenes dramas involving deaths, drugs, disappearing guitarists, illicit liaisons and numerous business fiascos were reflected in the tension of their music. If you thought the records were uptight, read on... Book jacket.
