"The Thorn" is an EP released by English rock band Siouxsie & the Banshees in 1984, in between the albums "Hyaena" and "Tinderbox". The release contains four tracks recorded with orchestral instrumentation. "Overground" originally appeared on the Banshees' debut album "The Scream" and "Placebo Effect" is a track on their second album "Join Hands". "Voices" and "Red Over White" were previously released as B-sides.

The purpose of the EP was three-fold: Siouxsie states that she wanted to induct John Valentine Carruthers into the Banshees, to try out some string arrangements, and to simply re-record tracks that had evolved on tour ref|downside.

The songs from the EP are currently available on the fourth disc of "Downside Up", a collection of the band's b-sides.
