Backhouse Mike formed in 2005 around singer and guitarist Michael Backhouse, bassist Andrew Carter, and drummer Joshua Davis. Their early years involved some financial struggles, but they built a following with their live shows.
In 2008, their single 'Okay' became a breakthrough, connecting with listeners across the country. The song's straightforward lyrics about heartache seemed to resonate at the right moment.
They've released other songs like 'Christimas Promise' and 'Feels Good To Feel Right' that continue in a similar vein of earnest, melodic rock. The band has faced some criticism for speaking out on social issues, but they've kept making music with the same three members.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
