The Mysterians were formed in 1962 in Michigan,The United States,they took their name from the 1957 science fiction film ‘The Mysterians.’They were soon joined by songwriter and lead singer Rudy Martinez who goes by the stage name of Question Mark.
Their early influences came from Surf Music,acts such as Link Wray and Duanne Eddy and retrospectively they were coined as pioneers of what was to become known as ‘Garage Rock,’ a raw and energetic style of Rock ‘N’ Roll perceived to be played by young amateurs who rehearsed in the family garage.
In 1971 the Rock critic Dave Marsh coined the term ‘Punk Rock’ while writing an article about ‘Question Mark’ for ‘Creem Magazine.’
