Musically it’s leans into the “post punk” category of the time with elements of the legendary ‘Elvis Costello’ and ‘The Damned’ Sonically, the track is a mastery of guitar playing, plugging into 1980’s Frank Zappa style and almost a neo classic climax orchestrated by guitars. 

Lyrically, is where this whole package is tied up with bows and the vision becomes complete. The walls are very real and it’s perhaps impossible to escape the restraints that life has dealt you in regards to your own mind. Only a real change can come by getting to know yourself properly and being comfortable with that and if you find something that makes you uncomfortable...just change that! 

The belief that you can is sometimes more important than the act itself.

Better Place

This is an old song of ours which we never actually recorded. 
Do you think it's worth recording?

Suzie (Unplugged)

We have always loved The Strokes so we thought we would throw a little cover out as we are on "In Your Ears Radio" tomorrow alongside top producer Gordon Raphael who is responsible for producing The Strokes debut EP "The Modern Age" ANNND their first 2 albums "Is This It" and "Room On Fire"

Barely Legal

The Strokes - Barely Legal - Cover by The Banshees

Retro Synth Arpeggios harking back to the club scenes of the 90s panic, punk and angst all mixed up into a journey of the mind. Nobody wants to be nobody, or maybe it’s just that now we live in a world where self perception of importance carries more weight than the bigger life picture of just being happy.

The Banshees - Silent Nightmare/Chasing Pablo Available Now: 
https://ditto.fm/silent-nightmarechas...

This track is monumental for us as it is the first of many to be released by ourselves totally independently. 
Everything from writing and creating the song, all the way up to Recording, producing, mixing, mastering, videography and promotion is "in house" Literally!  
  
It was created in Lockdown around feelings of anger and frustration that seemed to be universal. Lyrically and musically, it will take you on an emotional journey. We have all been affected by our inner thoughts and demons at some point but these feelings must be released somehow.

Silent Nightmare/Chasing Pablo

You're Wrong

“POINT OF YOU” is an epic masterpiece of 80s electro pop with the grime of New York City with such a subliminal modern tone and feel, captured by no one before.

Lyrically a masterpiece, standing with the pioneers of post punk.

Set with a bass line Brooklyn would swear by...The Banshees give you the song of 2021 “Point of You”
