Setting turntables on fire since 2012. Fuzz Club is a record label, online store and music festival. The label began in rural Norway during the 24 hour darkness of the Arctic winter, and entered the scene in 2012 with our compilation The Reverb Conspiracy – made in collaboration with Austin Psych Fest – a now annual release capturing the essence of the underground scene as it is today. As a label, we try to put as much energy and art into the presentation of our records as the bands do to their music. We collaborate with visual artists and take a creative approach to our album covers and the vinyl itself, making them unique, valuable and collectable.

Ultrasonically cleaned records for just five bucks. Hear the difference! We built the record bargain bin we always wanted. Each and every "VG" (very good condition) or better record for sale is ultrasonically cleaned. We ship with care and use record-appropriate boxes. All records are re-sleeved with both a new rice-paper inner and plastic outer sleeve. We ship media mail, with tracking. And, to ensure the vinyl's safe arrival, we ship the record behind the jacket, inside the outer protective sleeve. Ready to start your listening journey? Download the Five Buck Bin app now and browse our online store of ultrasonically cleaned vinyl!
