Always finding great stuff esp. the npr tiny desk concert LPs and a few soundtracks. Pricing is not always great but again this store excels if u r into anything heavy metal/indie rock/death metal etc. clean store and very professional. Ull find a good chunk of the indie bands as well read more

One of my favorite places in Boston. Good selection with fair prices, and everything is listed on their site so I often select what I plan on buying in advance. Staff is always helpful and a pleasure to talk to as well. read more

I have a bunch of friends in the Boston area so since hearing about this place I torture myself a few times a week watching Joey's drool worthy flip videos on Instagram. Subconsciously convinced my wife we needed to take an overnight trip to Boston and this ended up being my first stop on the way into town. Got there at opening and spent almost an hour on a Friday. Only a few people came in (including one of my friends) so I go a chance to talk to Joey a while. I bought a few things but easily could have grabbed about 20 records. They have stuff from all genres but specialize in punk and hardcore. Easily the best selection of any shop I've ever been too. An absolute destination if your into these genres. The wall is full of grails and the new and used bins are packed with multiple copies of multiple albums from just about any band you could want. I will be back. read more

So happy to have a record store in town! My "kids" love vinyl and are always asking to go to stores in the area. Now, they can walk to this store and browse all they want without involving me and the car. My middle son has been here several times since it opened and comes home with a new album every time. read more

Wanna Hear It Records - Vinyl Records Near Me - Watertown, Massachusetts

This is the best record store in the Boston area for Emo/Hardcore/Punk/Pop Punk period. I have found so many grails here it is crazy, The owner is amazing and a really great guy who will not judge your music taste which is an issue that I have had with other shops in the city who have told me to just go to Newbury Comics. Joey is awesome so don't be afraid to ask him about a certain press that you see on instagram or call the shop (he has never let me down once). He also gives good trade is prices compared to other shops in the area in my opinion and definitely much better if you were to go to a Newbury Comics were they don't give much. I have traded stuff many times and always leave happy. The shop is extremely active on instagram and every week they post videos of new releases and used records. So make sure you follow them so you don't miss out! One last cool thing I will leave this review with is Joey also owns 6131 records which has a ton of amazing releases and those are in the shop as well so you can discover some new music. I really could go on and on but please please visit this shop. It is the best and it deserves so much love for being an emo kid's paradise! read more

Absolutely love this shop. It has quickly become one of my favourite shops in Boston if not anywhere. I am constantly amazed at the selection of records available, not your usual $1 record bin Herb Alperts but actual bands from your want list that you've been looking for forever. Highly recommend checking out this shop! read more

Awesome! Lots of punk, metal, alternative, even some pop. Support local stores, record stores, and, um, indie stores!

This place is great. Excellent selection of metal LPs, and a small but mighty jazz section. I didn't explore the rest, but it seems like there's a lot of hardcore, indie, and rap as well. Owner seems like a nice guy, too. Looking forward to coming back soon. read more

Small and exceptionally well-curated store, with plenty of punk and hardcore classics but also a great selection of other stuff. Fair prices and friendly staff/owner make this an awesome place -- the best store in the Boston area for me. I've been three times in the last month, and will be back soon. read more
