She was the lead singer of Siouxsie and the Banshees (1976-1996), one of the original punk bands. The band evolved from punk, to Goth and psychedelia to a more accessible sound in more recent years. The band was featured on the first Lollapalooza tour and provided original songs for "Batman Returns" and "Showgirls." After a career of over a dozen diverse albums and amassing a huge cult following, the group disbanded in April 1996 just as the Sex Pistols, their original inspiration, decided to cash in on the recent interest in punk music and tour again.

In 2004, Siouxsie started a solo career. Her first solo album MantaRay was released on September 10, 2007 in the UK, preceded by the "Into a Swan" single released on September 3. MantaRay was released in the U.S. on October 2. The album has gained critical acclaim.
