Tone Deaf Records is an independent record store located in the lovely Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago. We carry new and used records, CD's, shirts, record cleaning kits, and other fun stuff for the vinyl junkie. We specialize in punk, metal, jazz, soul, indie, classic rock and a ton of other musical genres. We have been open since June of 2019 and look forward to your visit. Drop in and say hi when you are in the hood!

We thought it would be fun to share with all of you out there what we have been playing in the shop lately. We created a Spotify playlist with some of our faves of the last few weeks. It will be forever changing and updated so check back regularly. Everything in the playlist is for sale at the shop!!

Tone Deaf Tapes

We have officially kicked off our Tone Deaf Tapes offshoot. We are extremely excited about this project. We have our first two releases available for streaming via Bandcamp and will have tapes available in the next few weeks. Halve Maen Station is our good friend Costa doing some gorgeous and stunning guitar work, somewhere nestled between ambient and psychedelic, its an excellent release. The Pants is the ambient drone project by Tone Deaf Records owner Tony....trippy lush drone songs about UFOs. Check it out below
