Tystion (English: Witnesses) was a Welsh language hip hop band from Wales.
In 1996, MC Sleifar (Steffan Cravos) and G Man (Gruff Meredith) got together and released a few cassettes themselves. A year later they released the album Rhaid i Rhywbeth Ddigwydd (Something's Got to Happen), recorded with future Murry The Hump member Curig Huws, on their own Fitamin Un label. This caught the eye of Ankstmusik who then released their second album Shrug Off Ya Complex in 1999.
Meredith then left the band to become MC Mabon. Cravos was then joined by fellow rapper MC Chef (Gareth Williams) and Clancy Pegg on bass and keyboards. Their third album Hen Gelwydd Prydain Newydd (New Britain's Old Lie) was released in 2000 on Fitamin Un.
The band announced their split in August 2002. The announcement was made by Steffan Cravos from the stage of Maes B at the National Eisteddfod in St David's, at what was to be their last gig. During the last song of the set, Cravos reportedly tried to defecate on one of the guitar amplifiers supplied by the gig organisers but mistakenly did so on his bandmate Meredith's amplifier - causing a rift that remains between the two to this day.
Daisy Chain
Written by Wiedlin/Valentine/Sobule
Punk rock girls with some noise to make
Hollywood 1978
Babe said ¡°Let's start something great¡±
We couldn't wait
Char said ¡°I've gotta go non-stop
Gonna stay up 'til we hit the top¡±
Soon the other stiletto would drop
For the Sweethearts of Pop
Who knew we were going down
So careless with what we'd found
Making and breaking our Daisy Chain
FLOWERS BLOOM THEY FADE TOO SOON
WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR DAISY CHAIN
At Number One not doing so fine
Still having some fun spilling the wine
The rising sun never felt too kind
We were out of our minds
Trying too hard to play the part
KV burned out like a shooting star
Been brought down by a broken heart
We were falling apart
Who knew we were going down
So careless with what we'd found
Making and breaking our Daisy Chain
FLOWERS BLOOM THEY FADE TOO SOON
WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR DAISY CHAIN
The high life was already on the wane
The lines were blurred the pace insane
¡°I gotta save myself from this runaway train¡±
We never even said goodbye Sweet Jane
