The singles "Up On The Catwalk", "Promised You A Miracle" and "Sanctify Yourself" are by which band?

The story behind the answer

The singles "Up on the Catwalk," "Promised You a Miracle," and "Sanctify Yourself" are by Simple Minds.

Simple Minds are a Scottish rock band formed in Glasgow in 1977, led by vocalist Jim Kerr and guitarist Charlie Burchill. The three songs span an important period in the band's rise from post-punk and new wave beginnings to international pop-rock success.

"Promised You a Miracle" was released in 1982 as the first single from New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84). "Up on the Catwalk" followed in 1984 on Sparkle in the Rain. "Sanctify Yourself" appeared in 1986 as a single from Once Upon a Time and became one of the group's best-known American hits.

The titles can be tricky because they come from different albums and years, and Simple Minds are sometimes remembered mainly for their 1985 hit "Don't You (Forget About Me)" from The Breakfast Club. That song was not written specifically for the band, but it became their signature international hit. The three songs in this question are all credited to Simple Minds.
