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.

Had come up and told us that
We'd have to stop the show for a bit
Until the storm or the clouds passed over our heads
And everything will be cool as long as it doesn't rain
And as soon as, you know, the moment passed
And we started playin' the music again
The first song that was played was Burning Desire
Ayy
Niggas don't rate me, but it never phase me
Niggas try to play, try to switch up and betray me
Niggas turn to hate while bitches try and race me
Spirit with me daily, givin' niggas crazy signals
Wish they could replace me, simple as my name be
Niggas couldn't aim, they rhyme spit about it vaguely
Givin' niggas game by shout, really shouldn't gatekeep
Swifty made me spacy, as villain as the gates seem
A nigga couldn't play it, girl, I only get the daydream
How long I gotta stay up 'fore it all become the same thing?
Lawless on the way up, but you lost me with the hating
Cautious with the mating, get caught up with the bae-ting
But I still ball, we all be havin' talks with the away team
Crumble every wall, they gon' fall until their face bleed
Mother when you call, I'ma walk into the raybeam
You don't gotta chase me, just pray you never hate me
Niggas try to lay, I think they sick, they gotta raise me
Teachin' niggas pace, yeah, I'm quicker than I may seem
Glitter and berate me, MIKE, you uppercase me
It's simple as my name be
Yeah
I know you see me on the video (true)
I know you heard me on the radio (true)
I know you see me on the video (true)
I know you heard me on the radio
But you still don't pay me no attention
Listen to what hate had got mentioned
I know you see me on the video (true)
I know you heard me on the radio
