★   Founding Charter   ★

  • ✦Woven patch. 3-inch embroidered MCSC crest, hand-stitched, mailed anywhere.
  • ✦Founding-member Discord role. Locked color, permanent, visible forever.
  • ✦First dibs on the quarterly 7-inch pressing + annual Miami meet-up.
  • ✦Vote on the first three cover-contest songs.
  • ✦Handwritten thank-you note from the three of us. Yes, actually written.

?   Frequently Asked   ?

Everything you'd ask at the bar.

01
Do I have to be a "real" songwriter?
No. If you've ever hummed something into your phone and thought this might be good — you're in the right room. Skill floor is zero. Effort floor is show up.
02
Are Robby, John, and Pat actually in there?
Yes. Every single week. This isn't a ghost-hosted Discord with a brand tacked on. If a demo lands in #hook-review, one of us hears it.
03
What happens after the first 100?
Membership keeps opening at $20/mo, but the founding patch + founding role stop. New members get in with the same access, without the stamp.
04
Is my demo safe? Can I trust the room?
Private Discord, invite-only, no reposting. First rule of the club is protect the demo. Break it and you're out — no refund, no appeal.
05
Can I cancel?
Yeah. One click in Stripe. First seven days are refundable if it's not for you. After that, monthly, no lock-in.
