Indie folk group DeVotchKa covered the ballad "The Last Beat of My Heart" at the suggestion of Arcade Fire singer Win Butler; it was released on the Curse Your Little Heart EP. Gossip named the Banshees as one of their major influences during the promotion of their single "Heavy Cross". British indie band Bloc Party took inspiration from "Peek-a-Boo" and their singer Kele Okereke stated about that Banshees' single: "it sounded like nothing else on this planet. This is [...] a pop song that they put out in the middle of their career [...] to me it sounded like the most current but most futuristic bit of guitar-pop music I've heard". A Perfect Circle's Billy Howerdel said that the Banshees were "top three favorite bands for me". The Weeknd sampled different parts of "Happy House" for his song "House of Balloons", and also used the chorus of the initial version. In 2022, guitarists John Frusciante, Johnny Marr, and Ed O'Brien gave interviews for a new book about John McGeoch, particularly his work with the Banshees.
