Right out of the Bromley Contingent comes Siouxsie and the Banshees, who after launching a Top 10 UK single, they finally release they're anticipated debut album The Scream.

The album opens up a vortex of an intense and cold atmosphere which wraps around you and doesn’t let go for the trip ahead. It’s hard, it’s slick and all lead by Siouxsie’s energetic vocals. When the album is finished, you feel as if that undescriptive aura has let you go, but you are still left with the dirty syringe cavities of a sound so rough and penetrating that you are instantly addicted for life.

To this day this Alfred Hitchcock-inspired album is hailed by various people, such as Robert Smith of The Cure, and is also considered by many as the pioneering sound of the Post Punk musical movement.
