Hailing from the hamlets of East Hampshire and suburbs of Wolverhampton, MIKE TV have recently been very busy indeed. So far 2008 has seen a name change, a new member, a brand new 13-track album and a positively plethoric attitude towards live performances - all without losing their trademark, harmony-laden punk rock sound.After just completing a mammoth 27 date UK tour with Yorkshire ska-metallers RANDOM HAND throughout October and a successful tour in The Netherlands and Belgium in November, Mike TV will next be supporting US punk legends GUTTERMOUTH on their December UK tour.This year has also seen them tour with such bands as LA legends THE DICKIES, Californias ARMY OF FRESHMEN, Philadelphias ZOLOF THE ROCK AND ROLL DESTROYER, Israels USELESS ID, as well as performing alongside stalwarts of the UK punk rock scene - THE KING BLUES and SONIC BOOM SIX.Their brand new, self-titled album produced and recorded by underground super-producer Peter Miles (The King Blues / Sonic Boom Six / Tonight Is Goodbye) is out now in the UK on Banquet Records of Kingston and is soon to be released internationally.

"So charismatically chirpy is their power-pop assault that even songs about alcoholism or prison still have an infectious glee about them - It's a brilliant wake-up call."- Rock Sound magazine
"The simple facts are that Mike TV are the best pop-punk band in the UK right now and this is one of the best UK releases of the year."- Punktastic.com
"Impossibly infectious and lyrically impressive."- Big Cheese Magazine
"Mike TV have made an impressive comeback here. Instead of merely picking up where their wacky former selves left off, they have returned to transcend themselves into an infinitely superior league to their former incarnation."- Punkornothing.com
"Mike TV is a band you should definitely check out - they stand out from the pack with this quality fun release. Good times guaranteed."- Punknews.org
"It's refreshing to hear a band singing about what makes them tick - Mike TV are always a lot of fun, but their outgoing nature isn't a veneer to disguise any lack of material or talent; they've got it all." - The Mag
"Mike TV have clearly been listening to the Beach Boys, which results in songs you can't get out of your head after listening to them just once."- Up Magazine (NL)
"Mike TV's first London gig since ditching the Pickled Dick name and it goes brilliantly. Managing to get the most movement of the night they seem to go down a treat, especially when dropping old Pickled Dick songs in; I'm left thinking I should have put aside my hatred for the Pickled Dick name a long time ago." - Punktastic.com
"Mike TV are England's answer to Green Day, pop punk is alive and well." - Big Cheese Magazine
"Mike TV took the crowd up a level with a performance which never fails to engage. This band has huge charisma, guitarist Jhon spends as much time off stage as on and they're loads of fun. Great tunes in a Green Day mould, they should be huge, take the chance to see them while you still can in venues like this one. They're a fantastic band and you'll have a brilliant time." - Sandman Magazine
