What customers say

They just moved to a new location and it is stunning! The new location looks vibrant! I love all the records everywhere and upstairs on the second floor where their CDs are and it looks like a library for CDs. The staff is always there to answer questions if you need them too!

A visit to Darkside Records is always a good idea. Not only do they have a ton of vinyl, both new and mainstream and older and niche, but they also have an amazingly large selection of CDs (and some tapes too!). This was my first visit to this new space and it blew me away.

Does this company really exist? I plced a order 12/8. I have emailed, texted, went on IG, even called. Not one response. Its very disheartening to get no response from anyone, let alone no info on the order I placed. Update: I appreciate the response. I did check my email even spam. Thats ok.

★★★★☆ — Demara, 2025-12

Well stocked record store with a code variety of media. They feature some older artists but there’s a big focus on pop rock - lots of Taylor swift. Vinyl and cds are a mix of new and used. New media is expensive ($20-30) but you can see get a good deal on used ($4-8).
