# Siouxsie & The Banshees to release 20-disc box set
Few bands have been as revolutionary (or as *evo*lutionary) as
**Siouxsie & The Banshees**. From the graveyard gloom of their 1978
debut *The Scream* to the lush, sweeping pop of 1995's *The Rapture*,
they've remained one of the most vital and fascinating bands to emerge
from London's punk scene. With such a vast body of work at their
disposal, collecting everything is an adventure in bank-account torture.
Banshees co-founder **Steve Severin**, however, recently made an
announcement that will be giving fans wet dreams. A 20-disc box set,
including all 11 Banshees albums, singles, live recordings and TV
appearances, is in the works now.
The massive set is due to be released by **Universal**. No release date
has been given yet, but if fans are expecting a tour supporting the
collection, they're going to have to settle for solo **Siouxsie Sioux**
performances. According to Severin: "There is more liklihood of Peter
Hook touring a Banshees tribute band than there is of seeing the real
thing tread the boards again. It's over. Done. Dusted."
