Happy to have stumbled upon this place, they have a really good selection of punk and hardcore here. The section of 7″ records needs to be organized, but I can overlook that as I was still able to find some good deals– Just picked up a Cock Sparrer record on super crazy colored vinyl here for $ 10.99, where other places I’ve been to have the same thing for upwards of $ 40! The guy behind the counter was nice and chatted about the band with me and my bf which I thought was cool– a lot of record store dudes are usually way too cool to do that. Lots of tapes, buttons, posters and other cool stuff to look at here too. I will definitely be back!

Haha! What can I say? Even though this Store was all Punk Rock I STILL got an Original Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young Vinyl for only 5 bucks. It was a steal.

This record store was good if you’re into punk/​indie/​metal, but not so much for classic rock or other genres. I snagged a cool record, but as a classic rock fan I wish there had been more selection.

This place is punk as fuck. A leather jacket and safety pins grew on me the minute I finally found that chumbawamba record i have been lazily in search of for years! The musical God behind the counter opened my eyes to bands i never knew existed. My music horizons now know no limits. My wallet exploded its contents to satisfy my record craving at his commands and recommendations. His dark piercing judgmental eyes are engraved into my soul. Sadly only 4 which I can only explain with a classic. «Isn’t it ironic? Don’t ya think? It’s like meeting the man of your dreams… then meeting his beautiful wife.» Thank you Dov we’ll always have chumbawamba.

Wondered in by chance, was impressed with the selection and the prices are reasonable. Byron was wonderfully entertaining with his stories. Wished it wasn’t 3 hours away but I will be coming back next time I’m in Seattle

Really great punk record store that rivals the best of the East Coast. Wide selection of vinyl of all genres too.
The owner is not a jerk. I love it when I can chat up a record store clerk and have a nice convo about mutual likes rather than get Simpsons comic book guy style attitude. I bought a Still Little Fingers 7″ here.
I want to live in Seattle and If I did, I surly would spend at least 65% of my wages here.

Got to buy a serious amount of collectable records here.
don’t understand why an old format costs so much. I mean your paying on the average 20 – 30 dollars for a record.
They tend to gear themselves towards a specific crowd, like crusties but I found a little of everything. I really like the place and the people there.
10 records and 300 bucks later… you know.

If you need a fix for some used crust records or Seattle based hxc (Brotherhood, Trial, Botch). Staff is super friendly and knows their punk!

I have been going off and on to SINGLES GOING STEADY for several years. The collection of LP’s, CD’s, DVD’s, Blue Ray’s, VHS’s, T-Shirt’s, Patches, Pin’s, and anything else you can imagine is here. They are independent and that means they won’t have a million copies of the current coolest band. And that’s a good thing.
The staff are hella nice and knowledgeable. I have had lengthy conversations about the local music scene as well as the history of punk we experienced. And they are all willing to bend over back-​wards to make you feel comfortable there. I have never had a bad time when I have been there. Every purchase for me has been a good one.
I would rather give to my local retailers than those mindless corporate outfits online. The diversity of shoppers shows there is strong interest in this shop. Which makes me proud to stand behind it.

Cons: When I went in, they didn’t have any Bikini Kill CDs, which is what I was shopping for.
Pros: They had oodles of Bad Brains albums, and the guy working there was really helpful and sympathetic. He gave me lots of information when I asked questions, and helped me search the store for ‘em whenever I thought of an album that I’d like to buy.
Extra Pros: Comfortable atmosphere appropriate for punk music, promotes local bands.
It’s a small punk music shop, occasionally with some stuff from outside of the punk genre. I wish that the store was bigger, and the selection was bigger, but hey! It’s still an oasis, and very much worth the visit.

I am a serious record collector of all kinds of vinyl. If you are looking for punk, metal, or local Seattle vinyl: hey hey.

Guy at the counter was what you’d expect from a punk shop, and they’re pretty much punk/​metal/​etc. only, but if you’re into that scene, they seemed to have a pretty vast selection so it’s probably worth a stop. They also had a bunch of movies, cds, and patches.

Music stop at this punk rock collectable and record shop that we stumbled upon by accident called Singles Gone Steady. The store looks like your punk rock friend’s basement suite covered in Xeroxed and old school punk posters and handbills of varying nature. There is a huge selection of punk records, 45 and knick knacks all with sub genres. They have a few things that aren’t of punk nature for the person who ends up being the tag along for the punk fan. I couldn’t find anything that was on my list ’cause what I wanted was really good and rarely does anyone give stuff up like the Stiff Little Fingers or Gang of Four. The guy at the til was really friendly and nice and had a fun sarcastic personality. Prices for everything were very reasonable.

Hooray, punk collectible heaven! Picked up Black Flag’s «Nervous Breakdown» and «Six Pack» 7″ vinyls here along with a ton of other goodies. Counter guy was great to talk to and the atmosphere is awesome. Lots of old posters all over the walls and original vinyls going back to the beginnings of the punk sound along with plenty of new LPs. Something for everyone old and new and I love it all. If I lived in Seattle I’d probably blow way too much of my money here.

During my punk and hardcore years, this would have been my favorite record store in Seattle hands down. Their selection for the various subcategories that fall within those genres was pretty massive.
So even though I don’t listen to that stuff anymore (for the most part), I can appreciate a well-​stocked store that knows its customer.

I love this store! I wish we had one like it in Atlanta. Don’t get me wrong, we have record stores, but not like this. Aside from the standard shirts, pins, zines, VHS tapes (yes, VHS!), there is just a plethora of CDs and records, both used and new. The genres cover pretty much everything I like, garage, punk, oi!, hardcore, metal and crust. Yes, there is a crust section! The prices were totally fair and reasonable. The dude behind the counter was really friendly. I mentioned to my wife afterwards how pleasantly surprised I was that he wasn’t all pretentious and douchey, that he was helpful and informative. I don’t find myself in Seattle often so I don’t know when I’ll be back. But I know my next trip to Seattle Singles Going Steady will be on my list of places to visit.

Some people like the name a lot, I’m not so keen on it. But I do like the store a lot. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, with no good radio stations around and only one semi-​decent record store. I managed to find some good music along the way but it was an uphill battle, and I missed a lot until years later.
Back then, a place like Singles Going Steady would have been a treasure for me. Even with the rise of the Internet and all kinds of online possibilities, it’s still a great place to come to. Part of it is the guys behind the counter, especially the guy who is there on Friday. (Sorry man, I forgot your name, but we only met once.)
There is a ton of great stuff here. For example, more Screeching Weasel than I’ve ever seen at one time in one place. Lot’s of good new vinyl, and a couple of them will be Christmas presents this year. There’s a pretty broad spectrum of used CDs, especially on the lower shelves.

I want to be a cowboy… (I’d never make it as a punker.)
Because I know that song, I am cool enough to come in here. I am not, however, cool enough to know any of the bands that were represented in the t-​shirt rack.
I am, however, still deeply in love with this place.
If you want a button for any band that has ever aspired to be more like JFA, you’re covered.
CD’s, records, stickers, hand made leather belts/​gear, patches and some nice employees who won’t make you feel like you don’t belong in there even if you haven’t gotten one of my references.
