Mystik Spiral

This is the band fronted and led by Trent Lane, Daria's friend Jane's brother.

It is an alternative-rock grunge band, with elements of heavy metal.

They are generally portrayed in a negative light, and the few of their songs we get to hear are not good.

They often introduce themselves as, "We're Mystic Spiral, but we're thinking of changing the name." Some of the alternate names have included "Helpful Corn" and "Something-Something Explosion". They also wondered aloud if it would help if they "spelled Mystic with 2 Ys." Daria's unspoken, but thought, response was: "Sure. And I'll spell my name DarYa, and be crowned Miss America."

After the end of Daria, a pilot script was written for a spin-off starring the band; it was never produced.
