Due to the length of time spent working on Tinderbox, the group desired spontaneity and decided to record an album of cover songs, Through the Looking Glass, in 1987. Siouxsie and the Banshees had released 11 albums in total by the time they split in 1996, 20 years after forming. Sounds magazine noted: 'Tinderbox is a refreshing slant on the Banshees' disturbing perspective and restores their vivid shades to pop's pale palette'. Tinderbox was Siouxsie and the Banshees seventh studio album and by the time of its release in April 1986, the band had become unwilling and unwitting.

Two singles were culled from it, both Top 40 hits, and the band played the LP in full and in order on a long tour. Siouxsie and the Banshees were a British rock band, formed in London in 1976 by vocalist Siouxsie Sioux and bass guitarist Steven Severin.They have been widely influential, both over their contemporaries and with later acts. It ends with two epics – the squirming, unsettling 92º and multi-directional Land’s End. Dark yet catchy, with great songs like This Unrest, Cannons, Lands End. Album opener Candyman is simply ecstatic and the retro jam of Cannons chugs along satisfyingly. Tinderbox was one of the albums that got me into Siouxsie and The Banshees. This Unrest’s understated rhythm provides soothing aftercare to the pain in Siouxsie’s disturbing poetry, and lyrical melancholia and wild chord sequences led by Steven Severin’s textbook bass in Party’s Fall. Det var det første albumet deira med den då nye gitaristen John Valentine Carruthers.Carruthers hadde tidlegare berre spelt nokre få delar på EP-en The Thorn i 1984.
april 1986 på Wonderland og Polydor Records i Storbritannia og Geffen Records i USA. New guitarist John Valentine Carruthers had joined after Robert Smith’s loan from The Cure expired there was a spring in their step and a clarity to their sound on tracks like The Sweetest Chill and launch single Cities In Dust, with its jingly intro, supreme key changes and Siouxsie’s voice soaring on the chorus. Tinderbox er det sjuande studioalbumet til det engelske rockebandet Siouxsie and the Banshees.Det kom ut 21. Their seventh LP had been a while coming, thanks to side projects, line-up changes and touring. Tinderbox allowed them to maintain the energy of their heyday while prove conclusively that times had changed. This excellent release is well worth purchasing.Siouxsie and the Banshees were post-punk’s greatest exponents. The arrangements are less complex than in immediately preceding albums, but there are still plenty of subtle, effective production touches to be found throughout, most notably in the song "Cannons." "Cities in the Dust," a dance-pop number with a bell-like synthesizer opening section, stretches the above-mentioned boundaries the most, though typically bleak lyrics keep this selection from any sense of vacuity.
There is of course a fine line between consistency and lack of contrast, but this album stays firmly on the side of the former in fact, there's a certain satisfying feel to the musically uniform wall of sound here.
The songs here are intense and unfold slowly, some starting off less vigorously but becoming hard rockers further along. Most of the selections here feature urgently rocking drumming, drivingly aggressive yet fully textured guitar playing, and masterful, gutsy singing. Tinderbox is the most musically up-tempo of all Siouxsie and the Banshees' albums and the most stylistically consistent one since The Scream and Join Hands.
