“We didn’t necessarily grow up with vinyl—it was like a forbidden fruit. Now that we’ve leveled up, we have tasted the fruit.”
“We all live together and have a band record collection in our house. In our collection, we have an assortment of sounds—Star Trek, Whale calls, Mahler, but our favorite records are by our friends. We tend to buy records mostly at the gig. Buying a band’s vinyl directly from them at a live show not only supports the band, but forms a nostalgic experience that can be re-lived every time we spin it.
Being a band in Boston and running a DIY space, we have gotten to know a lot of bands in the area. Getting an album pressed is a big deal. And our friends’ getting their albums pressed is an even bigger deal.
It’s important to us to own our friend’s records because we listen to vinyl in a communal way; often while cooking or having friends over. After all, sharing is caring. ”
