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!
Quedronol:
Quedronol makes music that feels like memory itself — hazy, warm, and shot through with longing. Splitting his roots between San Francisco and his current home base of New York City, the solo artist has spent the years since 2020 building a genre-blurring world where folk, electronica, noise rock, indie pop, and shoegaze bleed into one another, all in service of songs that dig into love and nostalgia with real emotional weight. This Month, The MIC Mag celebrated Quedronol as our Musician of the Month! Read more about Quedronol here.
Frederick James "Let Me Give You A Good Day"
Based in Perth, Western Australia, Frederick James is a songwriter who tackles real-life struggles through warm vocals and full-sounding instrumentation, with inspiration coming from country and indie folk music. James’s latest release, "Let Me Give You A Good Day," is built around acknowledging the ones that you care deeply for and putting it into a well-rounded composition.

Other Fun Things The MIC Mag + MG Did In July:
POrkR0LL is a collective that assists independent artists with various needs, ranging from live performance reels to content creation to merch drops. Behind the project is Tonii, an artist herself who enjoys performing and creating music of her own. We asked some questions about how she operates and what she can offer musicians.

Did you know you could be missing out on royalties you've already earned?
Every stream, every spin, every sync...there's money tied to it, but only if your music is registered in the right places. From distribution services to PROs, The MLC, SoundExchange, and copyright registration, we break down exactly what indie artists need to know to get paid for their work. 💸

Success Story!
⚡️ Success Story Spotlight: Cold Weather Company⚡
When Cold Weather Company came to us, their seasonal song "Warmth in Winter" had a strong foundation but needed a spark to bring it back into the spotlight for their CD-mini PR campaign. We partnered with them on The CD - Mini PR Campaign to get the track back in front of the right ears and remind listeners why it deserves a spot in their winter rotation.
We got to work pitching "Warmth in Winter," earning playlist placements, standout features, and interview opportunities. We're so proud to have helped breathe new life into this track and can't wait to see what they create next! 💫
