Known as the Mission U.K. stateside to avoid confusion with a similarly named Philly soul band, The Mission formed in 1985 when singer Wayne Hussey and bassist Craig Adams strayed from goth mainstays Sisters of Mercy. Plying a just slightly more melodic, but still ferocious, brand of dark-tinged rock, the band swiftly became a live phenomenon. The four-piece were also regulars on the U.K. pop and U.S. modern rock charts through the late-`80s and early-`90s with enduring hits like "Wasteland" and "Deliverance."
