    Record Store Day in Phoenix: Wavves, Marked-Up Tapes, and Puppies (?)

    Record Store Day, the annual event in which stores put out their best inventory, dorks jostle for those elusive RSD exclusive releases, and everybody throws down a nice all-day party, is back again. ... More »

    Kurt Cobain Died 19 Years Ago; Watch This Incredible Nirvana Show Recorded in Phoenix

    It's hard to imagine that once upon a time, Kurt Cobain wasn't the voice of a generation, or grunge's foremost martyr. A long time ago, he was simply the guy who fronted a great band called Nirvana, a... More »

    The Music Venue Openings and Closings of 2012

    The atmosphere inside The Nash during its grand opening concert on a warm night back in early October was positively electric. A fast-paced flurry of a finger-snapping bebop filled the air as a quinte... More »

    If you were saddened by the closure of the original Eastside Records in Tempe two years ago -- as well as the shuttering of its pop-up reincarnation earlier this year -- dry those tears, grab some ext... More »

    Legendary Eastside Records Is Closing Its Doors

    It's an ordinary afternoon at Eastside Records, which usually means the following is happening: an obscure punk song is blasting way too loudly out of the tiny shop's decrepit stereo (in this case, Television's 1975 single "Little Johnny Jewel")... More »

    | Phoenix, AZ | 315 Reviews

    Aside from being one of the few truly independent record stores in town, Eastside's always had a reputation for satisfying eccentric tastes. Sure, you can go to the mall for that copy of Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds (Eastside will have it, too), but where do you go when you're looking for Lydia Lunch's spoken-word manifesto Oral Fixation or a copy of the 1996 U.K. import Jitter Juice, by now-defunct goth rock band 12 Rounds? Chances are, Eastside will have whatever you're looking for, and if they don't have it, they can order it. The in-store selection isn't the largest (four rows of CD bins, as opposed to the dozens found at most chain stores), but Eastside's CD bins are treasure troves of underground tunes, right alongside the usual Top 40 suspects.

    Gosh, I shop at all record stores, especially vintage ones, and this store has the best selection for both collectible and bargains. Also, a great store for browsing. They have used turntables if you are looking for a turnatable to play your old vinyls. knowledgable customer service. they are very helpful

  • 2006 | BEST VINYL

    DJ-friendly wax copy of the hip-hop Gorillaz -- check. Obscure Albert Ayler ESP 180-gram free jazz reissue -- check. Nigel Peppercock punk rock gatefold -- check. This is what a typical visit to Tempe's version of High Fidelity will look like for vinyl junkies and newbies alike. Since 1986, Eastside has carried aisles of dusty crates filled with new and used vinyl galore and a no-nonsense attitude to boot; just try to come up with a musician whose discography these audiophiles can't break d...

  • 2000 | Best Record Store Staffed by Overeducated Underachievers

    Remember High Fidelity, the Nick Hornby novel turned hit movie in which the plot revolves around the owner of an indie record store and his small staff of pop-culture professors? Well, if you didn't know better, you'd think the story was written about the malcontents working the counter at Tempe's Eastside Records. On any given day or night, Eastside's employee patter could encompass everything from the women-hating tendencies of multiplatinum gangstas like Chuck D. and their relation to... More »
