absolutely not they're timeless

it is NEVER too late

Hyaena is fantastic! Robert Smith (The Cure) played on it, so it has some excellent guitar work

It's never too late! Also check out her solo album Mantaray; I'm especially fond of the track "If It Doesn't Kill You" which basically sounds like her version of a Bond theme.

If you want album recommendation, I really like Peepshow. It is less punk than earlier album (don't get me wrong, I love punk), but I really like the ethereal vibes of it.
And the titular song is a classic.

@dog sent me over here with a Siouxsie-shaped bat signal. Siouxsie and the Banshees are one of my all-time favorite bands! All their albums are at the very least solid and most of them are great, but in terms of absolute essentials I’d name:

• The Scream - Absolutely a perfect debut and one of the all-time great post-punk albums. There’s a rougher energy to it than a lot of the Banshees later more polished work and imo it makes for a really exciting listen. John McKay, the first of the band’s revolving door of guitarists, is fantastic here. Their cover of Helter Skelter is chef’s kiss
• Juju - Hands-down the darkest and most goth Banshees album. It can be a lot sometimes but it’s dramatic and packed with bangers and sees arguably the band’s best lineup in peak form. I especially love “Spellbound” (iconic!!!) and “Monitor”
• Peepshow - My favorite Banshees album, they go all in here on a kind of strings-accented cinematic goth-pop that defined the last phase of their career. I have this album framed on my wall, it’s so good

Also for something a little more of a deep cut, I loooooove The Thorn EP. They recorded it with the Tinderbox guitarist and it’s full of revisits of early Banshees tracks, it’s a delight.

Really though you can’t go wrong with anything between Juju and Tinderbox - that’s absolutely the band at their peak
