“#New Jersey\u2019s Vintage Vinyl is Closing<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Vintage Vinyl<\/a>, the Fords, New Jersey record shop that sat at the nexus of the state\u2019s punk and metal scenes for decades, is closing next month. Owner Rob Roth announced today (June 21) in the shop\u2019s news<\/a>letter that it would shut its doors permanently on July 31 after 42 years of business.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to hosting one of the state\u2019s largest collections of new and used punk and metal records, the shop also played host to scores of in-store performances<\/a> over the years, both from local acts like Thursday, Saves the Day, Midtown, Titus Andronicus, and My Chemical Romance, as well as national acts such as Queens of the Stone Age, the Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World, and many, many more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roth opened the first iteration of the store at 23 years old in Irvington, New Jersey in 1979. It has been at its current location since 1984. \u201cI couldn\u2019t get the music I wanted in the chain stores,\u201d Roth told NJ Advanced Media<\/a>. \u201cIt was the era of punk and you couldn\u2019t get those records anywhere. I wanted to fill that void and bring the obscure, selling the punk and British records, and the stuff that was being ignored.\u201d Roth said that the COVID-19 pandemic was not a deciding factor in the shop\u2019s closure and that he was retiring to spend more time with his family.<\/p>\n
