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

Story behind the song
Burning house was born out of a strange dream where a girlfriend I never had tied me to a wall and stole my wallet while I was at her house, and to add insult to injury, she set the place on fire. I heard the riff in the dream, and that inspired me to figure it out on guitar. This is a very weird instrumental, sounding like a cross between something from Super Mario Bros. 3, Heartbeat City era Cars, and a few things I'm not even sure how to explain. Either way, it's weird, it's kooky, it's totally me, and I LOVE it.
