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!
Above the Moon:
For nearly a decade, Above the Moon has been delivering no-frills, heartfelt rock straight from suburban New Jersey. Blending elements of singer-songwriter storytelling, shoegaze textures, and infectious pop melodies, the band has crafted a sound that’s entirely their own. As they enter their tenth year, Above the Moon continues to push forward with There Is No Arrival Volumes 1 and 2, a pair of EPs exploring the beauty of living in the moment. This February, The MIC Mag kicked off the year by celebrating Above the Moon as our Musician of the Month!
