Mystery Team are a 4 piece rap/punk group from Southend-on-Sea consisting of Kristie (vocals), Lynton (vocals), Ben (vocals/producer/beat maker), and Nathan (drums). They formed in 2017 but were struck by creative tragedy in 2019 when a corrupt hard drive forced them back to square one.
Lockdown was spent recreating their past but, not wishing to rest on their laurels they introduced Nathan on the drums to complete the live setup.
Let’s see what they have been up to:
Felony
Explosive Hip-Hop meets punk rock to make Transplants and Jamie T fans glow with pride. The snarling vocals and vicious basslines of Slaves (now Soft Play) tap into the violent immediacy of Hadouken also.
Their visceral intensity is going to send independent venues into utter chaos sooner rather than later. Their adversity in the studio has bred an untamed sonic. The tempo set to unruly, they are going to blow away small venues sooner rather than later.
Boy Lost
Pulling from Grime and the aggressive lo-fi of the Audio Bullys, ‘Boy Lost’ is dragging cultures together with a sneering disdain for society. The carefully considered production and guitars are striking and bring Audio Bullys and Propellerheads musicality into play but, there are hints of Teebone’s flair and Plan B’s savage affability coursing through the vocal to keep everything vital.
