Mike is one of the original members of the band. He plays lead, rhythm guitar and bass guitar (when Sam lets him). He also listens to lots of music and plans on pursing a career as a recording engineer or producer.
Mike does not have a favorite artist or band because he enjoys listenting to some may, that picking a favorite would be very difficult.
Mike's belief of musical influnces is that everything you listen to influnces you, no matter if it is good or bad, it still infunces you.
