ReMission International - TOS2020 - Full length lyric video. And we have a winner! A couple of weeks ago we set a competition asking for you to guess who-sang-what on TOS2020, the recently re-recorded version of Tower Of Strength and released under the guise of ReMission International. Featuring an ... 14 192 Likes

From Germany and Spex magazine in March 1987 comes 'Today's Front Cover'. Capturing the boys at soundcheck somewhere in Europe looking a little dazed and confused. Touring will do that to you. 9 297 Likes

Photos from The Mission's post As promised, today sees the start of our new series where we ask each member of The Mission to name their five favourite films and explain why. First up is Simon Hinkler, Slink to you. Here ya go.

‘Today’s Front Cover’ returns with this one from Sounds in March 1990. Guns drawn at dawn, a verbal shoot out between two of the biggest gobs around at the time, Wayne & his good friend, Miles Hunt of The Wonder ... 15 318 Likes

TOS2020 (single version) - Remission International We're going to forego our 'Front Cover' for today as we're announcing an extension to our white label competition.

Photos from The Mission's post We think today’s Front Cover of LP newspaper from Nov 1988 is Portuguese. It could be Brazilian. Certainly the photos were taken in Rio De Janeiro when the band first visited South America in 1988. Again, Wayne, Simon, & Mick ... 16 197 Likes

There’s a long held fallacy that Wayne Hussey has never publicly shown his eyes, always preferring to hide behind his shades. Well, there was a sneaky peak in the Stay-With-Me video, a longer linger on his peepers in the Into-The-Blue ... 16 252 Likes

From Melody Maker in Feb 1988, around the time of ‘Children’ being released, comes ‘Today’s Front Cover’.

“He is one of a kind, and whether he likes it or not, he’s an absolute legend, and I can’t think of anyone on planet Earth who has a better story to tell.” - Gary Numan

“I toured a lot with The Mission and Wayne was much too bright and nice a guy to be in the rock business. He always had a sense of humour.” - Iggy Pop

"After years and years of living with repression and religious guilt, I had finally shaken off those shackles to become the clichéd licentious, degenerate, promiscuous rock star - everything that my mother had feared I'd become." - Wayne Hussey
