Mystery Jets have been touring for what seems like forever and singer Blaine Harrison is tired.

Not of the gigging, or life on a tour bus - which he says "smells like a zoo" - but of the band being pigeon-holed.

Labels such as "dad rock" and "prog rock" don't exactly make most people rush out and buy an album. But Blaine admits they did kind of bring it on themselves, by virtue of the fact that his 50-something father Henry is the band's guitar player, and he himself has been quoted in the Press saying he was brought up to believe good music had to have "a long guitar solo, an a cappella break, and had to be recorded before 1975."

"We all get tired of that," he says. "But I guess I'm grateful when we started off there was something that caught people's eye. But it's quite an obvious thing. You can't help feeling if people wouldn't concentrate on the aesthetic and listen to the music they'd see we're not some prog rock nostalgia band."

Blaine is talking from the gloriously named Eel Pie Island - a tiny landmass in the middle of the Thames near Twickenham.

The island is home to the Mystery Jets, and where they quietly practise - because the band have had a noise abatement order slapped on them after residents tired of their impromptu gigs.

Henry recruited his son and his son's friend Will Rees, the Jets' other guitarist, 12 years ago - when the pair were just eight years old. The band's early oeuvre contained covers of Richie Valens'La Bamba and Pink Floyd numbers.

The group haven't always been the Mystery Jets - for a while they were the Misery Jets thanks to spelling mistake by a young Blaine. "I tried to spell it on a drum cover, but what can I say - I was educated in French."

With more practice than most behind them, they eventually recruited bassist Kai Fish and drummer Kapil Trivedi and released their album Making Dens last month.

"Not everyone dug it, but we never wanted to be sailing up the charts - if we did we would probably be making music in a very different way," says Blaine.

"I'm not going to complain. I realise we're in a privileged position that's probably not going to last forever, so I'm not going to take it for granted."
