Banshee has been called a hair band, a glam band, an eighties band and all of the above. It rose to noteriety in the late 1980s when the hair and glam metal scenes were winding down, but made it's mark with it's heavy metal music.

The 80s may have passed with the 90s roaring by and changing the heavy metal scene forever, but Banshee remained as it was in it's prime. A melodic, progressive metal band that did not define itself with hair or glam labels. They were just part of the package back then. The commercialism of the industry had driven it there, but no more. Gone are the days of glam metal and eighties hair bands defining themselves solely because of how they looked.

It was always about the music, about the metal. In the eigthies you had to look to find the best. The best were usually right under your noses. Whether hair, glam, metal, the heaviest or not you wanted the best bands of the era. The best music, whether you called it glam metal, hair metal or heavy metal, it was the band that made the music and that is what you wanted to hear.

Banshee is one of the greatest bands from their time. Now they're back, with more to come as they continue in their history in great heavy metal music.
