The Sisters of Mercy are a gothic rock band from Leeds, England, fronted by their sole constant member Andrew Eldritch. They emerged in the early 1980s, defining a sound that blended post-punk and traditional rock with a dark, atmospheric sensibility. The 1992 compilation "Some Girls Wander by Mistake" arrived as the band was transitioning between record labels and preparing for their next studio album.
