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!
Shallow Alcove:
Fronted by Grace Krichbaum and Dan Harris, alongside Peter Groppe, Jack Harrington, and Noah Dardaris, the band makes music that sounds exactly like what it is: friends telling the truth, set to stacked harmonies and guitar riffs that refuse to leave your head. This Month, The MIC Mag celebrated Shallow Alcove Musicians of the Month! Read more about Shallow Alcove here.
Cahli Samata "Blink Back"
Australian artist Cahli Samata makes music for those navigating the space between doubt and belief. Crafting what she describes as "cosmic pop for people trying to find their colour again," she builds immersive sonic worlds shaped by myth, emotional intensity, and a deep-rooted desire for connection, to self, to others, and to those no longer here. Now, she returns with "Blink Back," a luminous new single released on May 22nd, a signal sent into the unknown, and a testament to showing up for your purpose even when the silence feels endless.

Raph has never been in a band, can't play an instrument, and once negotiated bongo privileges into a music video deal, only to be completely forgotten about. None of that stopped him from building Knifetwister Records into something real.
