Abrasive Monologues is an independent record label and creative collective pushing the boundaries of underground music. Home to genre-defiant artists, the label blends raw authenticity with intentional structure—where noise meets nuance and true conversation cuts deep.
OwnerShip & FUnding
Abrasive Monologues is independently held, operated and funded by Jon Hadley, with financial contributions from the member artists. We work together to achieve things we couldn't on our own.
Membership
Becoming an Abrasive artist isn't something you apply for. It's something that finds you. The artists that are part of Abrasive are a family that developed over time. We're not in it for the money. We're in it for the love of the art.
Distribution CHannel
Abrasive artists can choose to distribute through the label or independently. The joy of independence is that no one tells us what to do, or who to be.
Most of the artists here are easily found on all major streaming services, and all of them can be found on Bandcamp
