Crate-dug rarities, fresh pressings, and a wall of new arrivals every week. Wax & Wave is a record shop for people who actually listen — come flip through the crates and stay for the needle drop.
Wax & Wave opened in 2009 when Theo Banks started selling his personal jazz and soul collection out of his garage on weekends. Word spread, the crates grew, and within two years he'd opened the doors of the shop you'll find today.
We still buy, trade, and hand-grade every record that comes through the door — no bins full of junk, just crates worth digging through.
Hand-graded, freshly priced, first come first served.
A shop built by collectors, for collectors.
Every genre crate is sorted and graded by staff who actually know the catalog.
Bring in your collection for store credit or cash — fair grading, no lowballing.
Weekly listening sessions, local DJ sets, and first-pressing release parties.
Tell us what you've got — we'll follow up with a fair offer within 2 days.
