The Creatures were an eclectic musical act formed in 1981 as a side-project for Siouxsie and the Banshees members Siouxsie and Budgie. With the dissolution of Siouxsie & the Banshees in 1996, The Creatures graduated from an occasional side project to a full-time concern. They disbanded in 2005.
Biography
Wild Things era (1981)
The singer Siouxsie and the drummer Budgie had the idea to create the Creatures while recording the Banshees’ Juju album. During one session, they discovered by accident that the association of just the voice and the drums suited to the track
But Not Them. A recording session was organized in the aim to record five songs. This musical project was released under the form of a EP titled Wild Things. Musically, it introduced a much more primitive and drum-driven Banshee sound.
Feast era (1983)
In 1983, between the release of the Banshees albums A Kiss in the Dreamhouse and their live album Nocturne, The Creatures recorded and released their first full length album Feast. The week of its release, the band was on the front cover of the NME and the Melody Maker. It was both a critical and commercial success, reaching number 17 in the UK Albums Chart. To conceive it, the band decided to determine where to record the album by randomly placing a pin on a map of the world. The result was Hawaii. The hit-singleMiss the Girl took its inspiration from the book Crash by J. G. Ballard. Shortly after its exit from the charts, a follow-up Right Now was recorded: it was originally composed by Mel Tormé. The Creatures revamped it by adding a brass section: that became their most successful single, reaching the top fifteen.

whoa check out this guy! "respect due" dude you're sick i dont think any of us care what "the creatures" did with their drum patterns and vocal techniques, shit fucking sucks and has nothing to do with the influence of hardcore

i dont think the cunts that are bitching about the fact that the hardcore Creatures are not here realise the background of the two members of this Creatures. They helped start punk, experimenting with new drum patterns, vocal techniques and instruments and helped lead the path to hardcore in their own way. so fuck right off. respect due
