Finally, something on this old demo that I did that has what most people consider 'substance' in the matter. It's about creepy mean criminal people.

MJ (Mad Mike)

M.J. was a one man music project of Mike Jacobsen. It was started in 1996, and ended in 2013 when he got married, and thusly the name would have changed.

BIO Of M.J.

The "Eras" of M.J. are split up accordingly...

The Grunge-Wave Era (1996-1998)

Demos - Lanna, Kramer

Sound - Think Nirvana meets ZZ Top and The Cars, but with lots of whammy bar abuse

The "High School Crush" Era (1998-2000)

Demos: Dirty Talk, Sexy Girls

Sound - Pomp AOR "radio friendly" rock, similar to Loverboy/Journey/Styx

The "Post-Lithium" era (2003-2005)

Demos: Monochrome, Icebox, Killing Alabama

Sound - Nu-Metal meets New Wave

The "Everett Era" (2006-2011)

Demos: Agent Blue, EGA Stereo, 8088, M.J., System Shock, Urban Exploitation, Apocalyptic Hockey, Content through Negligence

Sound - Finally found my sound, sort of an alt-rock heavy metal hybrid with the occasional New-Wave synth or experimental instrumentation and effects

The Last Album (2012-2013)

Demos: Back to the Mower Shed

Sound - Similar to Everett

Beats producer MJ (Mad Mike) presents "Trash In Society", an instrumental track released on SoundClick. The production choices feel intentional, giving the track a distinct character. The way that the driving bass, the beat pattern, and the melodic elements are working in sync is marvelous. Listeners into Alternative and New Wave will find this track a natural fit within their rotation.

Story behind the song

I went to a school where there were a lot of bully types i the form of "Gangstas'" and "Street Thugs".  The hoodlums were the source of much aggravation for me as we almost always got into some sort of violent fight with each other before the years end, usually resulting in some form of minor personal injury.  

It was one of the first tunes to use the theme of death as a threat.  I was getting into Ted Nugent's pollitical views at the time, about the 2nd ammendment rights, and was thinking (and I still do) that maybe we, the populace should arm ourselves against these hoodwinks.  Nothing is more of a deterrent than death.
