Been coming to this shop for years and everytime I come in I always leave happy because the owner and the workers are really just dope people! Keeping the scene alive I love it! It’s organized and they always let you know where you can get anything if they know of it. No snobby attitude . No wanting to one up you on where they been or who they know haha. I love it here!

Oi! Thank you for carrying on the flag!! Biggest most convenient online store. Punk, Hardcore, etc.. Every thing you could think of and more! keeping DIY alive. Support your local shops. 🏴

Fantastic experience! Guy running the store was very nice and polite! And the selection was just crazy! Super tight:) will definitely visit again

What a great place!!! It feels like one of the last old real punk stores. I was looking for Misfits merch and was instantly helped by Ben who had great insights on the band, their books and pins. They have a great selection of t-shirts, posters, pins and books! I left happy with tons of cool stuff. Definitely will be back for Ben and more shirts and pins! Its really cool to go to a place where the person working there is able to not only help but tell stories and give tips along the way!

What can I say about Headline Records besides perfection. I might be bias because of my love for the Punk & metal genres and accompanying sub-genres but i don’t care.. this place is fantastic. A great selection of punk, ska, metal, hardcore & on a great selection of vinyl, cds and cassettes (yep those totally punk eps on cassette are in-stock). This is where I get most of my t-shirts (no shame) they have a huge selection and will sometimes order for you if they don’t have something. Jean is a fantastic dude that is super nice, great to deal with, a real OG punk and just a great guy. His love for punk music is easy to see because it really shines through the store. If you want a tourist spot go to Amoeba (no hate) but if you want a record store that feels more like your best friends house, go to Headline. Oi Oi Oi!!!

Great spot for punk rock records

Ken and John are two of the nicest guys ever. They have a great selection of vinyl, including some rare OOP stuff. I love coming here.

Ordered some patches online and they arrived in good time, all excellent stuff. I hope to visit the shop in person some day!

Wish we would still have shops like this in Germany.

Great store, Enjoy it more every time I go there!

If you ever feel like having a great time do punk rockers your thing this is your place home sweet home how about

I love the things I find here!Vinyl,shirts,posters.? coolest people work here🖤🙏💀

Enjoy all the T-Shirts and I bought one Aus Rotten. Have been here a couple of times but many years ago more than 10 yikes. Had to come back.

I dont know how many great cds and albums Ive been turned onto by this place. Its over a hundred. I dont know how many old faves Ive rediscovered here. Its in the hundreds. I once even bought a poster they had hanging on their wall.

Dont listen to any negative reviews. I stopped in when I was visiting in LA. My buddy lives right around the corner and I stopped in before I left town. The owner was super helpful and didnt mind working with me to find the right shirt quality I was seeking. Ended up buying a couple of shirts and will 100% be retuning in a few months when I move!

Record city is by far one of the best locations to go for looking for vinyl. I have been to all the other locations such as m-theory, off the record, thrift trader and have found that if your looking for used records at a reasonable price then record city is your best bet.

Huge variety of punk selection!! Vinyls are in great prices, highly recommended!

Ive been meaning to visit this record store for about 2 years, and today I finally got the opportunity. The owner (John) was very fun to talk to, friendly, and, most importantly, knowledgeable. He definitely knows a thing or two about hardcore. John helped me pick out the essential records for my small but growing record collection from a really wide variety of both vinyl and CD. In addition to that, he also has tons of patches, stickers, mugs, t-shirts, books, you name it. So, in short, the variety is huge, the owner is really nice and the overall attitude of the store is very positive. Do yourself a favor and visit this place!

Lots of cool band shirts and coffee mugs..Great service..very professional

The store owner (assuming) was very nice and accommodating and even gave me a few tips on how to wear the leather bracelets sold there. Threw in a free bottle opener for my purchase. Will definitely be coming back again!

This is a great place to shop around whether youre looking for something particular or to discover something new. Theyve got a great selection of Vinyl, CDs, T-shirts, patches, and stickers all painstakingly organized into a small space. The owner is friendly and Im sure hed be happy to help you find whatever youre looking for or leave you alone to browse.

This is, hands-down, the best store for punk records and collectibles in the Los Angeles area. There may be other stores that are larger or have more content, but I would gamble that this store has a vaster selection w/ a much better method of organization. Plus, their customer service is not to be beat.No matter what youre looking for, traditional punk, hardcore, pop punk, crust, powerviolence, d-beat, etc., Head Line has it all. If you have questions, the friendly staff is more than happy to go in depth w/ you to make recommendations, so you get what you want. They also allow for returns and exchanges, if youre not happy w/ your purchase. I cant say that Ive been in too many record stores that offer this level of service.Their selection of punk vinyl is not to be beat, and they have the best punk t-shirt collection around, save for buying from the Internet. The prices on items are a bit high, but you have to understand two things: 1) Most of what they sell was not mass-produced, so much of it is not easy to come by, and 2) They are located on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood, which is prime real estate, and the rent isnt cheap. But, given what you get in return, its a fair deal.If youre a fan of punk music, I highly recommend you check out Head Line Records!

I love to stop by everytime Im in town. Got my Black Flag hat and a couple Cramps and Hellacopter T-shirts which I treasure fondly. The dude that works there is really kind and patient. Its just a nice vibe all together.

Owner very nice. One of the best hardcore, punk. I liked

FINALLY, Ive found a one stop music shop for all my punk and metal needs. Just received my package in the mail yesterday and I was blown away by the awesomeness of each item I ordered. This doesnt appear to be bootleg merch and if it is, I sure as hell cant tell. I love shopping with Headline Records because everything is very reasonably priced and you always know which items are in stock. Also, I received my package in the mail before I even had time to check the tracking information. Ill be shopping with yall again!!!ALL HAIL HEADLINE RECORDS!!!

This placed rocks extensively

Great place lots of merchandise to choose from, only catch you will pay full price for shirts but still worth it

Nice guy. Nice employees..m

Best punk rock shop in the city, lot of great gear packed into such a small spot with an impressive filing system. Essential.

Most definitely one the best punk rock record store

Excellent 👏👏👏

I love this shop, been coming here for decades. Vintage collectable vinyl along with reissues of my favorites.One of the last vestages for real punk vinyl from a brick and mortar. Viva la Headline!!!

One of the best punx shops in north america

This place is amazing! Great selection of punk everything! Check it out.

This is a rad, badass little shop that has some serious t-shirt options. Its the grunge-punk wet dream, with t-shirts for every thing from municipal waste, to bad religion, to slayer and minor threat and way too many more to name drop. The dude behind the counter was well informed and super helpful. I will definitely be back.

I found this merchant to be a specter of what it hopes to be.Shortly after perusing the selection, it became apparent that the vinyl was in fact the shell of a record; the physical vinyl was not even encased within the label. After a few minutes of reviewing the inventory, it became clear I was looking at boot leg upon boot leg. The owner - or whomever is in charge of displaying their collection - places empty record sleeves on display. I became too incensed to even consider inquiring where the actual product was.Perhaps most disturbing was an ostensible Ramones record. Upon inspection, it was a Ramones cover wrapped around a United States Postal Service Priority Mail envelope, to give the appearance of integrity. Ah, the irony of ironies has finally manifested itself in this den on Melrose.As within any city, there are certain redeeming qualities to any merchant. This, oppositely, is one of those endeavors which is hugely disappointing, despite having the trappings of a true vinyl emporium.Please do avoid.

If you like punk of any kind, this is the store to go. From mainstream to sub-genres of sub-genres, this small hole in the wall probably has it. If youre looking for another genre, youll need to look elsewhere. Parking is street only, so plan accordingly.

Great punk rock shop!

They have some nice gems there. Wished I had more time to explore.

Couldnt ask for anything more

JeanClaude was nice.they had what i wanted i was in and out real quick.your source for all things Punk and all points in between.

Not a big selection but a cool store.

Best in the L.A. area to get punk rock gear 👍😎

Been a part of my life for a long time and memorable times with my girl

Such a great small punk shop, when you walk in there you feel like walking through a museum of punk rock

Awesome place

On Jan 31st I came Im with a couple friends about ten minutes before closing time, the man with the glasses was working and had the worst attitude, he kept bitching about how he wanted to leave and rushing us, not to mention he was dogging on our taste of music, worst service ever
