Who was founded first, Siouxsie and the Banshees or The Get Up Kids?
Siouxsie and the Banshees Siouxsie and the Banshees were an English rock band, formed in London in 1976 by vocalist Siouxsie Sioux and bass guitarist Steven Severin. Initially associated with the English punk rock scene, the band rapidly evolved to create "a form of post-punk discord full of daring rhythmic and sonic experimentation". In 1978, they released their critically acclaimed debut album, "The Scream", and built their reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases. With "Juju" in 1981, the group also became an important influence on the emerging gothic rock scene. They disbanded in 1996, with Siouxsie and drummer Budgie continuing to record music as the Creatures, a second band they had formed in the early 1980s. In 2004, Siouxsie began a solo career.
Pop Will Eat Itself Pop Will Eat Itself (also known as PWEI or The Poppies) are an English alternative rock band formed in Stourbridge in 1986 with members from Birmingham, Coventry and the Black Country.

After initially disbanding in 1996, and having a brief reformation in 2005, they issued their first release in more than five years in 2010.
