Another cool, literally the a/c felt so good here, shop along the Magazine Street corridor. A well curated shop for rock and punk music as the owner is well versed in these genres. They also carry a small section of both new/used jazz, r&b and hip-hop music. read more

Sisters In Christ - Vinyl Records Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Great record store for metal in NOLA! Found some great records and the prices were great.

Sisters in Christ occupies a needed niche. The scope of its stock is limited. They have a modest stock of used records of varying rarity and commonality, reasonably priced. That's fine for what it is. Their new stock is a marvel to behold. The range is quite narrow--recent metal/punk/hardcore and other related genres--but the selection within those categories is unreal. Read the other reviews for more info about their focus, but for those interested in those areas, this store should not disappoint. Staff were friendly and helpful. One more thing: check the address and be wary of using the map in Yelp. The shop is on Magazine St and not Freret. read more

Despite what the incredibly naive passerby (myself) may assume from seeing the C-word (Christ) on the edifice of a store, let me reassure you that the good people at Sisters in Christ are not trying to proselytize or otherwise convert you to any kind of religion - apart maybe from an interest in vinyl records. I stopped by on my way to a meeting earlier today, and was immediately impressed by the collection of vinyl records that they had in their store - all genres, big names and indie bands, and a particularly interesting section for local New Orleans music. I browsed through these for a few minutes before turning to their collection of books along the wall, which was well-stocked with editions of all the classics - To Kill a Mockingbird, Picture of Dorian Gray, and seemingly every copy of Chomsky that some dude bought, never read, then ditched at the nearest book-selling establishment. Interspersed with these were smaller selections of books covering topics of feminism, LGBTQ+ and queer studies, race, socioeconomic inequality and intersectional combinations of the aforementioned - a curatorial choice that I really appreciated, in addition to the willingness of the shop to center these books on their shelves, make them accessible and - importantly - make them affordable. They also had a great selection of well-designed merchandise, including t-shirts and 5-buck tote bags. I ended up buying three editions from the 1960s-1980s -' The Time Machine, Dracula and the Brave New World - for a tidy $8 before heading out. Despite not having a record player, I'll likely be back to browse their collection more thoroughly - and will certainly be back to pick up more books. I'd recommend this place to anyone, despite their affinities or affiliations, and would bring my friends here if we ever found ourselves back in this area of Magazine. I also got a sticker with my purchase! pretty cool. read more

Selection was amazing for the genres they focus on and pricing was fair. Enjoyed my conversation with the guy running the shop. A must stop on future trips to NOLA. read more

Weird, wonky, eclectic (and vast!) selection of vintage vinyl. Sebastian was particularly friendly and ready to respond to our inquiries. I hear that the shows here are well worth your time, but my schedule in New Orleans just didn't accommodate the next show scheduled when I was last in town. read more

If you like certain extreme styles of punk and metal, this is got to be the best place to go to in New Orleans! The people working in the store are nice and chill with no intention to judge what you buy. They have cool things to buy for entertainment and music like cassettes, vinyls, books, and magazines that have funny comics in it! If you are touring New Orleans for the culture or whatever, you should take a peek inside the store and maybe buy a cassette, vinyl, or even a book or magazine, there's so much to look at in the store! read more

Happened to pass by this afternoon while on my way to lunch. Found some really good 70's and 80's hard rock vinyl for very reasonable prices in the recent arrivals used section. read more

Sisters In Christ - Vinyl Records Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Tiny but Super cool vinyl plus store. Taxi or Uber drive away. I spent at least an hour here. Tanner was working that day. He had Post Malone playing, but as it turns out, he is in a local metal band (space cadavers). The metal selection is huge, however, I found it to be either too new or obscure for my taste. I prefer heavy metal and thrash music from the late 80s and early 90s. He was happy to play any disc that I was curious about, and we both ended discovering some cool bands. I did find some stuff in their newly added section, and walked out with about 8-9 albums for less than $60 bucks. The decor and vibe is very anti-Christian (in a fun kinda way), even the record selection. Maybe this will deter some people from going, but I found it interesting and fascinating. read more

Sisters In Christ - Vinyl Records Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Great local hole in the wall vinyl shop that specializes in metal and more experimental stuff, as well as some local bands and labels.

This little shack with an odd collection of records is definitely one of the most unique record stores I've had the chance to walk inside of. It is very much hindered towards the listeners of "underground" musical genres, but there's nothing wrong with that. There are records I'll find in there that I would never dream of finding in a place like Peaches. The staff there is incredibly chill, laid back, and even a bit sarcastic at times. If there's any complaint I would have with this store, it would be the fact that they do not sell CD's. All in all, it's small, unique, oddly inviting, and a nice little place to go to if you ever want to get into the New Orleans underground scene. read more

Not really anything more than a few years old, and definitely no "dusties" or golden oldies. Nevertheless, this is the best place uptown to get what's current on vinyl. read more

This was my favorite record store while I was living in New Orleans. They have the fairest prices as well as one of the largest collection of underground hardcore, punk, and metal music I've ever seen. They seem to regularly stock new releases from popular and indie-label artists too though. My favorite thing about these guys was the wide range of local New Orleans artists they stocked (some of my favorites) as well as the kick-ass shows they hosted there. read more

Stumbled upon this gem while finding a place to park on Magazine. Wasn't expecting to completely fall in love. Definitely mine and my husband's new fave place. read more

Great selection of vinyls. Found so much even after I made a purchase. Was going to buy more, but it was obvious the store clerk didn't want us there when the mucus suddenly got so loud I could hear my friend talking to me. We could hear the music turn down once we left and were half way down the street. Maybe our conversation was annoying, regardless, we were wanting to spend money and felt pretty pushed out. Will probably hit this place up again if in the area, but definitely checking who is working before walking in. read more

great record store uptown with inexpensive and extensive new & used vinyl selection. especially if you like the hard stuff; punk, diy, etc.. the new location on magazine st. is a really cool space too. went there for the first time for a zine reading recently and had a fun time. was thrilled to see they had a selection of local zines & art books for sale because not a lot of places carry that type of stuff anymore. And the people that work there were very welcoming & helpful. I found out they buy used records so I took them about half a crate of stuff I don't listen to anymore and got a really good deal from one of the owners of the store. I'd highly recommend you go there if you're trying to stock up on, or get rid of your, used punk/metal/hardcore/easylistening/etc records read more

I stumbled across this record store one day when my dad and I had come into New Orleans for comics at the store further up the street. I found this place to be one of the cool places to get records and was not as cluttered like The Mushroom is. Hands down, the best place to shop for punk and metal records! read more

Sweet people selling sweet music. The real meat is in the cassettes.

great selection of records and books and zines and prints. sebastian was extremely helpful and patient recommending good records to check out. highly recommend this spot! read more

In a forsought corner of a forcremp street, between two opportunities to satiate or imbibe yourself in glorious exuberance, you stumble upon a haven of darkness. Those tending the counter inside the abode are non-descript, but a quick perception-check reveals they mean no harm. They could be Illithids, thus you may choose to stay on your guard. You proceed within and discover a vast selection of relics, most of them from an analog age. Though the display seems medieval, there is undoubtedly something to your liking: be it a forgotten vinyl slab of sparkling popular entertainment or perhaps a cassette of nihilistic ephemera. The air is heavy but temperate, and strangers sometimes find some safety in your lonesome adventures. Others, conspicuous regulars, drop by for various lengths of time, jovial and animated, some long enough to complete cryptic exchanges of paper currency for merchandise you didn't know existed. At night, you may find yourself in a larger crowd, for the venue hosts regular seances that seem to delight the local youngsters. It is a good place, one that we should hope remains for eternity. read more

This is my favorite place to buy records in New Orleans. The atmosphere, the employees, and the prices are all awesome. I highly recommend checking this place out. Also if you can't find what you're looking for, just ask at the desk and they will go out of their way to try and get whatever you're looking for. read more
