From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mic City Sons is the third and final album by Heatmiser, released in 1996 on Caroline Records.
This was the band's first recording for a major label; however, when individuals at Virgin Records learned the band might be on the verge of breaking up, the album was subsequently licensed for release through the smaller sister indie label Caroline Records (also an EMI subsidiary) and their independent distributor of the same name.
The title of the album is taken from a line in the ninth track, "Pop in G".
