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 ↴
Remember times I put the dice in another hand
Something light for my brother man
For all the times we had the hype
The mission wasn't planned
To try and tell you 'bout them nights
You wouldn't understand
'Cause we was really shootin' high
In July was feelin' numb again
Remember cryin'
Tried to diet from these substances
Too precise but the price
Of me was plummeting
It took some dropping at the
Highest it was nothin' near
I feel the fire overcoming fear
Alone is lighter
I know prior I had one to care
Them ain't ties
You niggas wired to the puppeteer
Big MIKE, you know
The guy behind a bunch of tears
We still hype we got another year
You know the feeling, this is nothing near it
Keep swimming my beloved spirit
You know your son is near
