Record Store Day 2018 happens on April 21st this year and there are plenty of ways to partake. Are you into standing in line in the AM waiting for that limited edition release? How about jamming your way through the crowd to take in one of the great local bands playing at Neptoon or Red Cat? Maybe you prefer staying home and scoping out some sales from your couch?
Whatever you do, we encourage you to support record Stores because they support local music. Scroll the list below for record stores across BC, and in some cases, the special events they’ll be hosting on Saturday (including the one we’re putting on with CJSF at Stylus).
