A cool record shop, I would definitely go back. The service was good and I liked the large selection despite the small space. read more

See all

Lots of used records at really fair prices. So if you're looking to add to your collection or simply new to the vinyl game this is a great starting point. read more

Store owner chooses great unique records. He's also just a really cool guy. You can test whatever record you want so you know if you want to buy it. Small store, feels like you're in your buddy's place in a good way. Feels chill. He has $2 bins for older, or slightly imperfect records. Worth a look. Definitely will come back. Great for a record collector. He doesn't sell very many new records, mostly classics. Tell your friends there's a cool record store tucked in somewhere near the Guadalajara Grill. One of a kind place. He has pride in his shop and a love for music. Oh and there's plenty of parking! read more

Such a cool spot! Parking is easy in the lot behind the building and the door to Tone Army is in the walkway from the parking to the main road. We had fun exploring this small, yet well stocked, store. We left with a few new (to us) albums. Most of our vinyl we got from my parents' collection, so largely classical, jazz, blues, and folk... which I love although fun to start filling in with our additional finds. We will definitely be back! Follow Tone Army on Instagram for some regular musical inspiration. read more

This cozy little record store is really great. It has a great selection of records to choose from. We were there for about 40 minutes and my husband found 5 records to add to his collection. The prices were about the same as other record stores we have visited. The space is small but feels comfy. We will visit them again next time we are in Concord. read more

I was tooling around on Google Maps, and by accident, I found this record store. After work today, I planned on swinging by to check it out and sell a few LPs from my collection. I met Sesh, the proprietor of this shop. He is a kind and welcoming guy who looked excited to see what I brought him. Sesh was juggling my sale and an inquisitive customer's requests, questions, and purchase with ease. Sesh gave my humble stack of records a thoughtful look-through and made me what I felt was a fair and honest offer. I was thrilled. I had gone to another shop a few days before, and they gave me a really crappy quote. Worse than that, you could tell they hardly looked over what I brought them. Sesh blew them out of the water. The store itself is quaint--in a good way. The smaller floor plan gave me and Sesh a chance to shoot the breeze while I was browsing. As I was flipping through, it was pretty clear to me that he wasn't just taking in everything and slamming it into the bins. He had a pretty tightly curated and organized inventory. The racks had a large breadth of genres and a wide variety of albums within. Hardly any repeats. I'd say 90-95% of his stock was preowned. There were probably a dozen milk crates of records that recently came in and needed to be sorted (my favorite stack to look through). Talking to Sesh, it was easy to feel his passion for music and physical media. The pride he has for his shop and what he has created is lovely to see. Sesh is just a delight; he is a humble, kind, and honest human being. TLDR: Lovely smaller shop, a curated selection with variety, fair prices, and honest offers. The owner, Sesh, is a gem. I don't know when I'll be back... but I will, many times. read more

Very cool shop. Small but mighty. It might be a little tricky to find but definitely check it out. We came the day after thanksgiving and the owner was having his own friends-giving there. Everyone was super cool and friendly. They even offered us some of the snacks they had. We picked up about 5 records. All good finds. read more

Small but well stocked store with a very cool vibe. Sunny Concord location with more than ample parking.

Great experience. Sesh, the owner, is straightforward and a nice guy. He bought some of my ancient vinyl records for a reasonable price. Don't hesitate to work with him! read more

Great friendly environment, great selection of vinyl, love the fact you can listen to your purchase prior to transaction. I barely got a chance to search when I kept finding great oldies. read more

Love Tone Army Records! Sesh is a good guy and has a broad range of genres. Always something new and fare prices. Thanks for all the great records! read more

I went in for the first time a couple of months ago. I decided to start collecting vinyl again. My son told me about the place and I've gone back maybe 5 more times. Every time I find another hidden gem. I look very forward to many more visits and purchases. The owner Sesh is a very friendly guy who I look forward to chatting with when I go back. It is definitely a solid ten as his selection of vinyl is much to my liking. It is also convenient to where I live. If you live further away it's worth the trip. read more

Saw you in KPIX ch 5 news today. Congratulations! I will definitely find to patronize.

That Robert D. reviewer on here is a complete idiot. The owner of the store is so nice and caring, you can really tell he loves records and loves people. Super caring and considerate. Awesome store and I hope it stays open forever because it's an awesome little record shop. He is NOT shady, and is very honest and has a great selection of records. Really down to earth guy. read more

Great little record store near me. Has great selection and the owner is very friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Great little record store! Found this store via a search on Yelp looking for another vinyl shop. It's less then a 5 minute drive from my house and I had never heard of it...what a find! It's a small store with a focus on rock/classic rock and earlier pop/top 40. They do have a smaller soul section as well. Prices are good, maybe a little higher then you would see at Rasputins/Amoeba but the quality/condition of the records is excellent. Here is what I picked up from my first visit to give you a sample of what you can find... Sex Pistols, Missing Persons, Santana, War, Eagles, Madness, Beach Boys, Billy Joel and Luther Vandross. I've played all these front/back and the condition of these records is outstanding. Covers and inserts are in great condition as well. Since the store is small I think the owner does a good job of only stocking high interest records, even in the "value bin" I didn't see much junk like the other stores. The owner is great; friendly and knowledgable. Do yourself a favor and give this store a try, I think you'll be impressed with the selection. read more

Do a straight trade..hope store closes soon read more

Great selection and great vibes. Definitely coming back again! Owner is a great guy who really has taste in music. Most shops I've been to have tons and tons of crap! This place is short, sweet and to the point, no fillers only gems. read more
