About Me

B.T.A. RECORDS, located at 1524 Broadway in Rockford IL, is a music store/chill spot for people that love music. We cater to the underground punk/hardcore/grind/death/black/crust/kitchen-sink scenes. Our objective is to continue to build a flourishing underground music community in the Northern IL/Southern WI region and beyond. Also expect a wide variety of events and activities to be hosted at B.T.A. anything from Forums, workshops, info-shops, demonstrations, D.I.Y. projects, skill clinics.....come get involved!
Because we still operate in a capitalist country(world?!?), we are forced to at least try to pay the bills with the revenue from selling merch. That is, making a living doesn't mean we have to consciously and relentlessly reproduce the logic of conservative business culture and entrepreneurial capital. B.T.A. Records is 100% volunteer run, and any money made goes directly back into making this the best music store it can be, or other related punk/diy projects. We have records/CD's/DVD's/tapes/patches/t-shirts/hoodies available for buy/sell/trade, and are also open to carrying merch from local punk/hardcore/grind/metal/etc bands in the area. If you're interested in having B.T.A. carry your merchandise, feel free to get ahold of us.
B.T.A. Records is now taking orders for t-shirts, patches, or whatever you can possibly think of to print on. We can do orders out of state and completely over the internet or phone. We use the highest quality ink available to print your images. We can create the art here or use your custom design. Just get in touch for details!2 dozen T's: $140 --or-- 240 ct.(2"x5")patches: $70 - - - - - Your local punk DIY space, dedicated to the pursuit of fun...and MUSIC!B.T.A.
