Record Stores
Why not support a local small business? We now have three great record stores in Frederick with an eclectic taste in music. Record Exchange, Rock and Roll Graveyard and Vinyl Acres are all in Frederick. Oftentimes you can take a chance on a cheap album that looks interesting, which is how I’ve found many of my new favorite bands. You can also get to know the shop owners and they can get a feel for your music taste to make recommendations for you.
