2. MIKE is a punk rock band from Stockholm, Sweden.
MIKE started in January 2006 by Joel, Fredrik, Viktor and Jesper. The four guys from the southern part of Stockholm/Sweden had all played in different bands for years. Back in 1996 Viktor started a band called No Division with a friend. Jesper joined the band in 2000 (then called Pronoid), where they both played for five years. Joel played in the band Dechas, who released an EP on DayGlo Records in 2000 and an album on Shutdown Records in Australia in 2002. Fredrik had been playing in the band In Memory Of Me and in different bands before that. Jesper and Joel played together from time to time for a while and they both love punk rock, and when Jesper quit Pronoid they started talking about playing punk together. They talked to their old friends Viktor and Fredrik and started jamming some of Jespers songs and the result is what today is known as the band MIKE. After about a year our good friend Fredrik decided to quit the band to play with a reggae band from Uppsala. We then tried out two drummers but decided to pick one of Joel's old friends, Totte. He'd earlier been the drummer in bands like Milk bar, Devoured, Songea and Simpleton. Experience and routine was a fact. He'd actually only been in the band for about a week when he performed his first show with MIKE, and a week after that we went into the studio to record a couple of songs.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ten kizzil, shit too official
'Cause I'm bigger, be jammin' a little
With them bruises and cheerin' and I fizzle
Ain't no fool, ain't no man in the middle
Know the tissue, the man, the initial
I just cruise, I ain't plan no dismissal
Keep it simple, grands in the rizzle
Yeah, I'm zooted but hand me the rizzle
When the music, the bands is essential
Couple tools, it's a band, heavy metal
On the move for the Patek and emblem
I want jewels to glamour my denim
I ain't glued to this pack, boy, I settled
Know I do it for dad 'cause you special
Hope you snoopin' that trash that I left you
What you do for that bag, can't respect you
Got a check, patent the nephew
Livin' restless, sad that I left
Shit embedded, I had to resemble
Imperfections is cracks in the vessel
Every step is a dance with the devil
In the desert, ain't askin' for rescue
I'm with redLee, there's gas on the menu
We gon' get in the ride in September
You gon' wreck 'em, the gang gon' assemble
Yeah, yeah
I'm in debt to them gangsters and rebels
Still in debt 'cause that damage, it get you
