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 ↴
All, all, all your adversaries are here
I hate to get involved, it be quicker stress
That's all you know I differ, I've been
Called for a bigger step, it's talk
They be bitter like balsamic vinaigrette
As far as momma thought
I got this cough from a cigarette
You soft in the flesh then
Be softer on the internet
Bark with your chest then you
Barter with your innocence
Starved on the bench to be
A starter when it finishes
The scar in my head
That tomorrow isn't infinite
When it charged
Thinking when to disregard what
The mission is
I'm shark where the fishes swim, it's bars
When it isn't art where my feelings live
A star we really are the dark
Shit is limitless in tar
But still I take it far
Whispering the charms
Please show me where you are
Since an infant in your arms
We keep rolling where it shards
My timidness, I guard, I learned
To live a bit, enlarged
Take my dividends and march
Wrote this intricate, in March
Rolling spliffs to feel a spark
Told them bridges "Split apart"
I hope the distance feeling sharp
In a minute it'll be ours
Every vision we embark
Still got them pictures from the parkway
Skipping passed the Narcs
We taking wins when we in harm's way
It's written, we the ark listen like Marley
Be Dry! And I will dry up thy rivers
He said, "when you say be dry!"
He come, and dry him up
When you look at the man
And you say "Be dead!"
He said, "I will make him to die"
When you say "Live!"
Then I will make him to live!
He said, "when you say it
I will make it happen!"
