Shake It Records

Cincinnati


Get ready to sift through two floors of used vinyl, with a smattering of CDs, books and pop-culture products thrown in. Shake It is also a record label, producing mostly punk rock and roots rock bands. It’s a terrific place to learn about the local music scene from chatty, in-the-know staff. Located in the trendy Northside 'hood.
