Hi Everyone! The Big news is we have recently moved to right next door of our previous location! Lots more space and nice natural light!  Our new address is:

Celebrated Summer Records

443.866.9988
Here are some pics of the new spot:










We have an even greater wealth of original fliers and set lists on the walls now and 25 never before seen original Japanese Hardcore Photos from 1984 featuring COMES, MOBS, LIPCREAM, GHOUL and more! We are really happy with the move! 

that brings us to our seven year anniversary, seems like it was just yesterday we opened in the back of Legends in Towson. We will be celebrating on Tue August 27th at the Ottobar here in Baltimore Maryland, we will be announcing bands this coming Monday so please watch this space! In the meantime here are some teaser posters for it:



the astute will notice the EXPO 70 theme running through these. Our recent trip to Japan in November 2012 (fifth time!) was hugely influential especially visiting the EXPO 70 memorial park. Here are some pics from the visit:
