Where Does the Money Go?
Unlike most record labels, all of the proceeds from our sales go to the artists. Rub Wrongways Records takes nothing.
You've heard stories about musicians making barely any money while record labels rake it in? Not here.
Below is a list of how much money the artists earn from many of the various places one can access our music. These figures are not 100% accurate. Things change, prices vary depending on the location of the buyer or subscriptions and what-not. It's too complicated for us. What you see here is based on our most recent reporting from our distributors.
