I've been shopping at Darkside for years. They're a wonderful part of the community. Always a comfortable place, lots of events, huge selection of music. I always find something I want. Staff are all friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They've helped me pick out gifts and equipment. Love Darkside!

I ordered a last minute Christmas gift for a family member and was amazed to see that it got here before Christmas even with the holiday rush! The gift was a record from my parents' past and they were thrilled to see it under the tree!

I purchased my vinyl online to be shipped to me. I love the variety of artists available and had a lot of fun browsing through the inventory. Will be revisiting! The albums shipped quickly and were packaged so carefully, I was really impressed with the whole experience.
