Siouxsie and the Banshees - The Scream (Polydor, 1978)

Siouxsie and the Banshees - The Scream
Antisemite band? O, she has her excuses!



Notes
  1. According to Uncut, "For much of 1976, Siouxsie wore swastika armbands in an attempt to enrage the Establishment's 'we fought a war for the likes of you' mindset....Siouxsie is surprisingly frank, if unrepentant."The culture around then," she explains, "it was Monty Python, Basil Fawlty, Freddie Starr, The Producers - 'Springtime For Hitler'....It was used as a glamour thing. And you know what?" she sighs. "I have to be honest but I do like the Nazi uniform. I shouldn't say it but I think it's a very good-looking uniform."
