Hogwild Records
1824 N. Main Ave.
(210) 733-5354
Founder and owner Dave Risher started Hogwild Records in a flea market stall before moving into its longtime brick-and-mortar location across from San Antonio College. A longtime staple for SA music aficionados, the shop offers a wide range of vinyl, CDs, cassettes, magazines, T-shirts and music memorabilia. Looking for an obscure Norwegian black metal record? They probably have it. Or maybe the new LP from your favorite underground rapper? Chances are, they have that too. Friendly and knowledgeable staff will help you find the music you’re looking for — or recommend something you’re unfamiliar with but would probably love. Serious record collectors also know to peep the ever-revolving selection of used vinyl to pick up bargains for their collections.
