Dive into The MIC Mag's Monthly Issue, where you can see who we've featured and what we've had on repeat all month long!
P-Funk North:
Formed in 2013 by singer, songwriter, and bassist David Sloyan, P-Funk North hails from North Plainfield, New Jersey, bringing a high-energy, lyric-driven sound built around a reggae-rock core. Equal parts party-ready and purpose-driven, P-Funk North thrives on big choruses, dynamic rhythms, and a live show that keeps crowds locked in from start to finish.
This Month, The MIC Mag celebrated P-Funk North as our Musicians of the Month!

Beach Daze "Everything We Ever Wanted"
From the shores of Brick, New Jersey, Anthony Gualano has been carving out his own lane in the indie and alternative world. Performing under the name Beach Daze, he operates as a true one-person project, handling everything from songwriting to production, channeling personal experiences into bright, energetic rhythms that feel both intimate and expansive.

Nicole Ash Never Better
Nicole Ash's latest EP, Never Better, shows the world bits and pieces of herself that she had locked away. Never Better captures the messiness of letting go and figuring out who you are, and in the process. It’s about learning to love and respect every part of you, even the ones you may want to keep hidden. Read the interview with Nicole Ash here!
Liam Naughton & The Educators "I Want To Go Out Tonight"
"'I Want To Go Out Tonight' is about a woman in a breakup situation. I wrote this song around the time my daughter was listening to Prince nonstop. She loves his track 'If I Was Your Girlfriend'. I actually misinterpreted its meaning, and I do believe that's where the seed was born for 'I Want To Go Out Tonight.'" - Liam Naughton

Mourning Coffee "Amor Fati"
"'The only way to transform our situation is to first accept the reality of it, even if things haven’t fully unfolded yet. ‘Amor Fati’ means ‘love of fate,’ which is kind of like saying you’re good either way - and that’s a conclusion most of us only reach after the fact with hindsight. This stoic saying challenges us to meet each moment with that mindset." - Christian Diana, Mourning Coffee
