The Mystery Lights are a psychedelic rock group originally from the small town of Salinas, California, USA. Now based in NYC, they have gained a reputation for their unique sound and energetic live performances.
Formed by lead vocalist Mike Brandon and guitarist L.A. Solano, The Mystery Lights draw inspiration from various genres including garage rock, punk, and R&B. Their music is characterized by catchy melodies, fuzzy guitar riffs, and pulsating rhythms.
With their debut album released in 2016, The Mystery Lights quickly established themselves as one of the leading bands in the underground music scene. They have since toured extensively across North America and Europe, captivating audiences with their raw energy and infectious stage presence.

Daptone Records is proud to present the debut 45 from a group of young fellas who are dominating theNOWsound in Rock N' Roll. That's right folks, Daptone Records, the world leader in today's soul music is now ready to take on the happenings of the modern rock 'n' roll scene. We present to you, on their newest subsidiary, Wick Records: The Mystery Lights. Even though they may sound more like some lost outfit from the depths of mid-sixties Texas than a bunch of scruffy kids from the streets of 21st Century Brooklyn, The Mystery Lights combine relent- less enthusiasm, and a knack for a hook into an all-action rock n roll combo for the here and now. Their first single pairs a ridiculously catchy neo-teenbeat number 'Too Many Girls' (our protagonist surrounded by a feminine throng he can't control) with the snaking psych-blues of 'Too Tough To Bear', featuring the band dragging their squalling guitars deep into swampland. Though it was recorded to 8-track tape at Daptone's legendary House of Soul by Daptone studio superstar Wayne Gordon and mixed by Bosco Mann, it was the cutting engineer JJ Golden who called it "the hottest record I ever cut.".
