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!
Women In Stem:
Women in STEM is an indie-rock trio made up of Sam Caspary, Finn Sleppy, and Ella Adams, bringing girl group energy and a serious power complex to everything they do. With a sound as scrumptious as their attitude is bold, these three are carving out their own corner of the indie-rock world, one irresistible track at a time.
This Month, The MIC Mag celebrated Women in Stem as our Women's History Month, Musicians of the Month! Read more about Women in Stem here.
Frederick James "Walking Through Hell"
Frederick James is an acoustic-led songwriter crafting reflective, narrative-driven songs grounded in simplicity and presence. Drawing inspiration from Noel Gallagher and Zach Bryan, his work favors direct storytelling and open interpretation. On February 20th, he released his new single, "Walking Through Hell."

Lily Forte Don't Gild The Lily
“This project was filled with an abundance of collaboration. We recorded most everything live with players on trumpet, bass, guitar, piano, and drumset. It was really important for me to have a live feel to this project, as my whole theme throughout writing was “Rock n’ Roll is alive.” Don’t Gild The Lily was derived from a misquotation of a line from Shakespeare: “To gild refined gold, to paint the lily … is wasteful and ridiculous excess.” I felt inspired by the simplicity in the quote. No need to over embellish, there is beauty in the simple nature of being.” Read more about the album here!

Happy release day to Catch Me If You Can! 🎉 Ryan Hanratty's new single "Me vs. The Lack of Context" is out NOW everywhere you stream music.
We've had an absolute blast working with Ryan to help bring this one to the world, and we're so excited it's finally here for you all to hear.
The track is an honest, ska-tinged reflection on the anxiety so many Millennials and Gen Z listeners carry into their late twenties and thirties, navigating a future that feels increasingly abstract while clinging to the present moment. And it's the existential crisis you'll actually want on repeat. Stream "Me vs. The Lack of Context" now 🎧

We've had the pleasure of watching Cre8ive MC grow as an artist for over a year now, and his debut album release was a moment we were proud to be part of.
Through our Headliner Campaign, we built out a full 3-month release strategy that included a custom website, a direct-to-fan downloadable album (no streaming service required), and a PR campaign spanning indie outlets and mass media alike.
The result? A debut release on his own terms. 🤘
