A biography of John McGeoch has been published and the article below is sort of an abstract of that bio.
McGeoch was the guitarist for Magazine and Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees.
In North America he remains relatively unknown, I think, but he was hugely influential on people like Johnny Marr of The Smiths and largely defined the sound of Post-Punk guitar from the 80s onward. Everyone will recognize his much copied sound if not his name.

‘Invention, grace and bloodlust ballet’: post-punk guitarist John McGeoch
McGeoch sent a jolt through the scene with Magazine, Siouxsie Sioux and more. Johnny Marr, James Dean Bradfield and others salute an overlooked musician
