Who are we?

Anything But Mainstream Records is an artist-owned DIY label, archive, and creative hub founded by R.W. Tudor in 2020.

ABMR is home to I Am Hologram, Holopalooza, ABMR News & Reviews, podcasts, music videos, release pages, and independent work built outside the usual industry machinery.

Artists

I Am Hologram

Richard Nihil’s one-man acoustic jam band: psychedelic folk-punk, country grunge, alternative blues, dirtbag poetry, and ghost songs for working-class weirdos from the American Southwest.
