Mr. Mike

"Epic Garage Pop" is what it's called.

About Me

Hello I’m Mr. Mike. I live in the San Fernando Valley USA. These are my songs. You could call my music poppy. I grew up listening to poppy stuff, so I guess it rubbed off on me. People always ask the question, "what’s your music like?". Now, as a songwriter, I don’t believe there’s a harder question to answer than that. I don’t know why it’s such a hard question. I mean all I have to do is describe my music. I guess you could call it indie rock, whatever that term means these days. I like to call it Epic Garage Pop. It’s Epic because I use big harmonies and love that huge wall of sound vibe. The word Garage is perfect because I recorded it in a Garage. The album kind of has a Low-Fi 60’s throw back quality that I really dig. The Pop is my ode to bands like The Beatles, The Beach Boys or anything else catchy that sticks in your head. I LOVE catchy stuff. So I guess in a nutshell that’s what my music is all about. I’ve been playing music since I was about 9. Everyday I get excited about playing. I feel it centers me. If you have read this far, hopefully one of the tunes has better explained my rant. I love you. Mr. Mike

95 nissan pick-up

Well my 14 year friendship with my green machine has come to an end. I loved her, I cursed her.....but she was mine. Soaked in the fabric, along with marinara sauce and coffee spills, are the memories...

new sound

It's funny that after doing this for 15 years you can still make a new sound.
