The Abrasive Monologues Creative co-Operative
About this division
Abrasive Monologues can’t be defined by just one aspect, and that is very intentional. We are designed to be multi-threaded… to disrupt. Abrasive isn’t a label we sign on to, it’s a banner we fly with absolute intention.
Since it’s inception, one of the primary missions of Abrasive Monologues has been to bring artists together. We can achieve a lot in our own little bubbles, but we can achieve a lot more when we pool our talents, resources and most importantly our presence. If you’re making music in the indie space, you’re the voice of indie music. That voice has long been silenced by half-thought through platforms. Abrasive is a place that’s purpose built for indie, and always will be.
