  • Mike Got Spiked Press Release: Bye Jonathan

    mike got spiked - Jonathan

    Got this in my inbox this morning from Mike Got Spiked, best of luck to Jonathan.

    I’m sure this is just the start of a new chapter for the rest of the guys.

    Hopefully plans to release their second album won’t be affected, looking forward to hearing it.

    It’s with heavy hearts and a lifetime of brilliant memories that mike got spiked today announce the departure of bassist and founding member, Jonathan Myles, from the band.

    Over the course of eight amazing years, Jonathan has shared in a wild journey that started with a group of friends playing to the rest of their mates in filthy pubs in rural Ireland, and has now taken mike got spiked to a full-time life on the road in the USA.

    From strutting his stuff with us on the Vans Warped Tour to being the life and soul of the party in pretty much anywhere in America that you care to mention, Jonathan will always remain a valuable asset to the history of this band.

    While Jonathan has decided to leave mike got spiked to pursue other interests, the remaining members, Dave, Conall and Gavin would like to express our gratitude to him for his artistry and dedication.

    Although we are saddened to see him go, we wish Jonathan the very best of luck with his future endeavours, musical or otherwise, and thank
    him for his continued input to our forthcoming second album.

    The search for Jonathan’s replacement is currently underway. Anyone interested in auditioning for the position should email

  • Mike Got Spiked: Live and Acoustic Review

    mike got spiked acoustic album coverMike Got Spiked were a well loved Irish band who had made a dent in both the single and album charts here until they relocated to the U.S.A where they have been constantly touring since 2006.

    Recorded in The Cat Club in Hollywood CA, ‘Live and Acoustic’ sees the Monaghan natives show in acoustic mode, but yet they still manage to capture the frenzied passion of a full electric set.

    The Ska/Punk/Rock flavoured Mike Got Spiked show themselves as a kit well accomplished outfit and this stripped down set shows the band for their intrigued arrangements. New and previously released tracks sit side by sit comfortably.

    Speechless starts as a breakneck speed ska track cohesively held together by a slick rhythm section. Second track, Tit For Tat, features some catchy hooks. Dave Lodge’s lightning fast bass skills are on display on ‘Sleeping With the Enemy’. ‘Come Dancing’ is a funk track that Republic of Loose would be thrilled if they wrote.
