Miracle Legion was an American college rock band formed in 1983 in New Haven, Connecticut. The original lineup consisted of Mark Mulcahy on vocals and guitar, Ray Neal on lead guitar, Jeff Wiederschall on drums, and Joel Potocsky on bass. Their EP, The Backyard, released in 1984 on Incas Records, became a college radio hit. In 1987, they released their debut full-length album, Surprise Surprise Surprise, on Rough Trade Records. Mulcahy and Neal continued as a duo after Widerschall and bassist Steven West left in 1988. They signed with Morgan Creek Records for their 1992 album Drenched. After legal issues with the label, Miracle Legion released Portrait Of A Damaged Family on Mulcahy's own Mezzotint Records in 1996. The band reunited briefly in 2016 for a tour supporting a reissue of Portrait of a Damaged Family and in 2024 for performances around New England.
