Behind the Bunhouse: The Mystery Jets

Another band which lacks the reputation and recognition that it clearly deserves is the five piece indie band, The Mystery Jets. Although belonging to the indie genre, some others also believe that the Jets' songs contain themes which belong to post-punk revival, new prog or the synonymous thamesbeat which is becoming ever more popular in England as the phase of the 80's punk revival grows.


The band acheived a moderate level of recognition when their hit song "Two Doors Down" Reached number 24 on the UK charts in 2008. The song itself contained sounds and musical techniques which would immediately conjure up memories of 80's mod/rocker for older generations while at the same time having an upbeat rhythm and tempo which could be appreciated by the younger generations.



Nowadays, The band tours around the world playing songs from their past 3 ablums and hosting Parties, such as "The White Cross Revival", on Eel Pie Island.The parties, featuring as many bands as possible on one stage each night, have played host to the likes of Good Shoes, Dr Filth, Jamie T, The Noisettes, Les Incompetents and many more.

I would recommend this band to anyone and everyone, not because of its genre, but simply for the fact that every song contains an entirely different mood and the subjects in the song can be easily related to the everyday person. My favourite song would be another one from the Album Twenty One named Behind The Bunhouse
