With the constant onslaught from new competitors online, independent record stores have been unable to do anything o stop their perpetual demise. So in an effort to increase awareness of their struggles and importance in the community, independent record stores across the nation are banning together and dedicating a day to themselves and their survival. Criminal Records is throwing an event in support of the day which will include live music from Bobby & the Soft Spots, The Bridges, The Coathangers, Club Awesome, Dead Confederate, Hope For Agoldensummer, Judi Chicago, Anna Kramer & the Lost Cause, Manchester Orchestra, Janelle Monae, Noot d’ Noot, Ocha La Rocha, Suitcases, and Trances Arc. Sounds like a great event and I love to see record stores survive but I’m not sure how much they can do to fight the cheap and vast distribution of the online space. I wish them luck and go check out the bands and support Criminal Records.
