There are at least six artists with this name:
1. A British rock band (known as The Mission UK in the United States)
2. A Japanese pop group
3. An American rap group
4. An American Christian contemporary group
5. An American psychedelic rock band
6. An American R&B band
1) The Mission (known as The Mission UK in the United States due to a naming clash with a Philadelphia R&B band) is a goth band formed in 1986 in Leeds, England from the splinters of the freshly-dissolved goth band The Sisters of Mercy.
The band’s original lineup consisted of Wayne Hussey (vocals, guitar), Craig Adams (bass), Simon Hinckler (guitar) and Mick Brown (drums). Hussey and Adams were formerly members of The Sisters of Mercy, Mick Brown was a former member of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and Hickler was a former member of Artery and Pulp. Wayne Hussey has been the only constant member of the band.
The backbone of the band’s catalogue consists of seven main albums (Gods Own Medicine, Children, Carved In Sand, Masque, Neverland, Blue, Aura and God Is a Bullet) with several complementing albums, compilations and other miscellaneous releases also in existence.
The Mission attracted a faithful following band of fans, known a ‘Eskimos’. Gigs typically had an energetic mosh pit (prior to the term being coined) sustained by a lot of Eskimos.
Other bandmembers:
Mark Gemini Thwaite (guitar, 1992-1996, 1999-2000, 2006-2008)
Andy Cousin (bass, 1992-1996)
Rik Carter (keyboards, 1992-1998)

Ah, my favorite band for years and years- when they stopped doing it a few years ago, gothic rock stopped too. Luckily I got to see them 3 times in 2002 and Wayne a couple of years ago with Miles Hunt.

It's The Mission. People only call them The Mission UK abroad because there is an American band with the same name, I believe.
