In case you've been living under a rock, Record Store Day 2017 is among us!

On April 22nd, record stores on every continent (except for Antarctica :/) will participate. The event seeks to "celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store."

At a time when many indie record stores like Greenwich Village's Bleecker Bobs and Soho's Rock in Your Head are shutting down, it's important now more than ever to support the local scene.

We recommend getting to these spots early to snag your fave vinyls!
