Goths come out to fight COVID-19 with an all-star remake of an anthem
One of the most majestic songs of the 80s was “Tower of Strength,” the John Paul Jones-produced track from The Mission. The band’s Wayne Hussey resurrected the song for a redux to support frontline workers in the fight against COVID-19.
The track, released under the name ReMission International, features members of The Cure, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Slowdive, Bauhaus / Love and Rockets, The Smiths, The Twilight Sad, Depeche Mode, The Cult, The Wonder Stuff, Gary Numan, Evi Vine, Midge Ure (Ultravox), Spear of Destiny / Theatre Of Hate, Beauty In Chaos, The Soft Cavalry, All About Eve, Guns N’ Roses, Nine Inch Nails and Gene Loves Jezebel.
Jeebus. Nice organizational work, Wayne. And it’s awesome.
There are other versions, too.
