About Me

theAbrasions: one word, five heartbreakers, and music that is harder, faster, and louder than yours.
THE A BRASIONS are really anal about the spelling of their name, so try not to fuck it up.
theAbrasions
are a five-piece punk band from the wee south suburb of chicago called tinley park. tA delivers the energy and passion that's been lost in streetpunk today without sacrificing talent and musicianship.
formed in the summer of 2003, tA was the rebirth of a shitty band known as blatant disregard. by moving at-the-time bass player mickey to guitar and getting an entirely new rhythm section, a band was formed that was able to play to its full potential and work together as one unstoppable rock squad. and finally, the band was given its new name: theAbrasions.
over the past year, tA has had the great fortune of opening for national acts such as:
headnoise
plan of attack
the forgotten
the krays
the bled
street brats
a global threat

the boys of tA released a self-produced, six-song e.p. in august of '03 titled "Too Late Now..." and in november of 2004, they released their first full-length, titled "weAredeadnow". currently, theAbrasions are writing scores of new material and are eager to play more shows, as well as booking.
if you are looking for politics, theAbrasions are not the band for you. we retired our only political song on november 6th, 2004. we don't sing about government nor religion. our lyrics are based on our lives, our experiences, our friends and our enemies, good times and bad. tA is a REAL band that writes music about things that our fans can actually relate to. besides, we've all heard the politics time and time again. everyone gets the point by now. we have no message, music has its own meaning to us. we aren't trying to change the world, we're just doing what we love. thank you and fuck off.
