Abrasive Monologues
Abrasive Monologues is a collective of musicians, writers, and creators who believe art should cut deeper than the algorithm allows. Whether loud or soft, heavy or hopeful, every voice here is anchored in something real. We don’t do trends. We don’t do polish for polish’s sake. We make honest work—for people who still want to feel something.
