With their 1984 release, HYAENA, Siouxse & the Banshees dropped more than just a few hints that they were entering very melodic territory (their cover of the Beatles' "Dear Prudence," etc.). And they delivered on their promise with their follow up two years later, 1986's TINDERBOX. The Banshees also took a detour from the challenging and unpredictable arrangements that they had been indulging in on their past few releases to a more back to basics approach, where the song structures were more straightforward. But make no mistake about it, this wasn't easily digestible pop 'product,' the lyrical themes of certain songs (namely the modern dance pop of "Cities in Dust" and "92 Degrees") contain all sorts of disturbing imagery. Other highlights include such eerie compositions as "The Sweetest Chill" and "Lands End," as well as "This Unrest" and "Party's Fall." When TINDERBOX was issued on CD, the tracklisting was expanded to include four bonus tracks, including an 'extended version' of the aforementioned "Cities in Dust."
Siouxsie & The Banshees: Siouxsie Sioux (vocals); John Valentine Carruthers (guitar, keyboards); Steven Severin (keyboards, bass); Budgie (drums, percussion).

Tinderbox Music Review
Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)    List All 6 Reviews give it me
Cannons and Party's Fall sum up the intrinsically seering and overwhelming juxtaposition of light and dark. What a voice, What a vision.

 Best of the 80s
Remember the late 80s when punk was dying and there was nothing to listen to? This was my walkman drug and is a great listen almost 20 years later.

Wonderful and Frustrating
Throughout their career SATB have chartered through some of the most interesting waters in modern rock. At its best Tinderbox offers some sublime moments (Sweetest Chill, Party's Fall) that rate among the band's finest work. However like much of their post Juju work the record is inconsistent, with some overindulgent drudgery offered among the treasures (Umbrella, Execution)suggesting the band's 'Goth' label is turning to pastiche. But true to form, when at their peak SATB make the competition redundant, and I love 'em. To bits.

A career highlight, this album paints a disturbing picture of life, love, and relationships. The swirling tornado on the cover is a perfect image for the music, which burns and churns its way through 13 tracks.
