In two days, the music gods will bless us with stacks of newly-released records. Since 2008, Record Store Day (RSD) has helped revive vinyl sales with limited-edition releases, reissues, and album debuts. This year, the needle drops on Saturday, April 16 and local stores are celebrating with in-store performances, sales and more.
Can’t keep up with the long list of RSD releases? Have you barely heard of half the bands? Don’t worry— we won’t tell your friends. Brush up on your knowledge, and earn a little cred, by browsing the top 5 most anticipated releases from our friends at Culture Clash.
Make sure to stop by their store on RSD. Culture Clash opens at 10am and The Flats will play at 6pm. Refreshments by Bleak House will be available.
