On 4 March 2004, McGeoch died in his sleep after an epileptic seizure, at the age of 48. Siouxsie and Budgie had talked about inviting him to guest with them on stage, before hearing the news. In November of the same year, Downside Up , a box set that collected all of the Banshees’ B-sides and The Thorn EP, was released. The Times wrote in its review: “here is a group that never filled B-sides with inferior, throwaway tracks. Rather they saw them as an outlet for some of their most radical and challenging work”.
