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.

Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what? They said it would never land and
Mans throw a tantrum
But never throw our hands on a-
Hanged up, lowkey when she hangin' a bit
I know I can't remember I got shitty answers to give
And what? Shit, this damn luck again
Pampered, how they got you amped up to switch
Bank runs, so all this shit I ran up with twin
Gangster, swifty like a panther, I skip
Handsome, she want to join the fan club and shit
Hand rubs, my sister said the angst come with it
Phantom, lot of times I can't judge the real
Can't lie, this business is cancer
I'm out of state puttin' money on a dancer
I know say these niggas love me in Atlanta
I'm from the gray, how it's sunny like Fanta
Hug me like an anchor
Dummy, I could tell that wasn't funny not banter
Real ones gettin' damper
Niggas just be sayin' stuff and that's what bring me anger
You could imitate us but we never get a "Thank you"
We only see the shit drown, never get disclaimers
Would I put the spliff down, this shit could really save us
They crumble and get kicked out, history of labor
In these lyrics, Mike reflects on his struggles and frustrations. He starts by mentioning how people doubted his success, saying it would never "land." He implies that despite this, he doesn't resort to violence ("never throw our hands on a-"), opting instead to express his frustration through words and music.
Mike then touches on a personal relationship gone sour. He uses the metaphor of someone "hanging" and not remembering the reasons for their behavior, suggesting that there may be unresolved issues or misunderstandings. He admits to having "shitty answers to give," indicating his own shortcomings in the situation.
Continuing on, Mike discusses his distrust and weariness of others. He feels weary of love and friendship because he has been let down in the past, possibly by someone close to him. He mentions feeling "amped up to switch," possibly referring to the pressure to change or adapt to fit certain expectations or situations.
Mike also mentions his association with a certain lifestyle. He describes himself as "gangster" and "swifty like a panther," suggesting a sense of agility and adaptability. However, he also acknowledges the negative aspects of this lifestyle, like the difficulty of judging what is real and the presence of deceit and betrayal within the music industry.
Towards the end of the lyrics, Mike talks about putting money on a dancer while being out of state. This may imply that he indulges in certain vices as a way to cope with the challenges he faces. He mentions the love he receives in Atlanta and contrasts it with the gloominess of his hometown, portraying himself as a sort of anchor or stable presence for those who support him.
However, despite his success and fan base, Mike still feels a sense of frustration and anger. He notes that people imitate him without showing genuine gratitude or appreciation. He also expresses a desire for recognition and validation, suggesting that being acknowledged for his talents could potentially save him from the hardships he faces. The lyrics end by alluding to a history of labor and struggle, implying that overcoming obstacles is deeply ingrained in his journey to success.
