Radiation Records

This store has a large selection of vinyls, tons of stickers and patches but the customer service is terrible!!! I’m not sure why the people work their if they hate being around people. I have gone here once and although the prices and selections are good I hate spending my money where I’m treated like I shouldn’t have even walked in. They don’t acknowledge that they have customers in the store. What should of been been a quick and easy transaction was full of awkwardness and a staring contest as I bought patches and stickers.

Fuck this place i walk in already knowing what the fuck i want, they dont greet me like always and after standing there for 15 mins of being ignored i just walked out fuck you guys i hope you go out of business every one should take your business to Dr. Strange where they actually treat you like a friend or even a fucking customer

BEST SEX SHOP EVER! They have the most awesome rare and super collection of 12inch butt plugs and 7inch butt plugs! All the owner does is cuss you out and degrade you while you shop and it is amazing! YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT… it is more punk than you can ever hope to be. Just check it out and get your booty plugged with some rare punk 12inch magic!

Had to take off a star for bad service, everytime I go its an uncomfortable awkward feeling but just know what you want and be very clear and to the point when you ask for something and you’ll be fine.
Other than that they have a great selection of RECORDS great prices on a variety of STUDS, lots and lots of PATCHES, T-​SHIRTS and STICKERS. They also carrY BONDAGE BELTS and BULLET BELTS both in silver and gold. I can’t help but stock up everytime I go. I love this store

Stopped here while on tour… The stock is mind blowing!
The only thing that kept me from going 5 stars is that stuff is a little bit messy… New buys/​recent arrivals are scattered throughout the store.
Prices for stuff I wanted was fair, but since we were pressed for time a little I’m certain I missed stuff since you gotta dig.
Next time I’m within 40 miles I’m there! (planning for more time next trip!)

I moved to Orange County from Minneapolis, where I got into the punk scene via Extreme Noise, Profane Existence, Havoc Records, and Dillinger Four, so I was pretty spoiled.
I didn’t know what I would find as far as punk record stores were concerned, and was maybe just a little worried about finding a lot of leopard print and Mike Ness worship.
Not the case at Radiation. The place is real small but jam packed with awesome. Record prices suggest that they know what they have (typically a knowledgable shop is a good shop) but aren’t trying to rip anyone off. I bought four What Happens Next? 7“s, a Crudos/​MK-​Ultra split and a Nice View 7″ for $ 50, but not before putting back a ton of other great stuff I found (Neurosis Aberration EP on Lookout! for $ 12).
I also saw a Charles Bronson tote bag hanging on a wall.

Guess ya gotta be punk rock to be treated like a human being here. The bleached blonde guy was less than welcoming and probably was searching anarcho-​punk shit as I my cheery self walked in. You go on hating the world dude and see where that gets you. Too bad I’m a record collector who supports small shops but don’t wanna see your face again.

Great record store, sloppy and stuff everywhere, just like you need it.
Great selection of vintage and current Punk, Hardcore, metal, crust, Oi! and rock.
You need to go here… you will spend hours in this place. Tell Gnat you love him.

Great shop. Definitely one of the best punk record stores in SoCal. Collectors stuff is priced fairly (the going rate) plus they get a lot of new releases.
They’re always getting in a ton of new stuff so it’s worth checking out pretty frequently. Also, they pay out pretty well for used records. I’ve sold punk records to several stores for years now (Radiation, Dr. Strange, Amoeba, Vinyl Solution, etc…) and I usually stick with here and Dr. Strange. They pay out a decent amount and have enough new stuff coming in where you will always find something to use your credit on.
LOL at the reviewers complaining about bad customer service. I’ve never had any problems. It’s a punk record store not a fancy restaurant.

You can find some great records here if you have the time to search their massive inventory. I’ve added a few gems to my collection shopping here and they have a lot of foreign punk records that the other local punk shops don’t seem to have. Check ‘em out!

An awesome little find next door to the Anaheim Scout Shop, of all places. Picked up my son’s Cub Scout uniform — and then stopped off next door for a Black Flag bootleg. Not bad.
The shop is small and cluttered. They do screen printing in the back, so there are boxes stacked in most places. Awesomely large selection of new 7-​inches. OK selection of new CDs, mostly bootlegs from the look of it, as well as a local label that seems to traffic in crust.
We didn’t spend a ton of time scoping out more beyond the new 7-​inches, but I picked up a single and a couple of live bootleg CDs for not much money. The guy behind the counter was pretty friendly.
Between this, Black Hole, and Burger, you should be pretty set for your punk and hardcore records needs in Fullerton. A great shop to have stumbled across!
I’ll go back, for sure.

This place was recommended by a friend of mine. My first impression was that their selection was huge. With used and new clothing also, it’s a one stop shop for all you need. The long haired blond guy behind the counter was pretty useless, but that’s what you get with pretty much any independent record shop. If you know what you’re looking for or just want to be left alone when you’re looking for something– this is the place for you.

If you’re looking for punk/​hardcore/​garage records, this is one of the best places you can go to in southern california.
Their record prices are a bit steep, but they have some of the best selection of new and old obscure punk records I’ve seen anywhere. Always worth coming back every couple of weeks or so to check out the new releases they stock up.

One of my favorite record stores in Orange County by far. Good selection of punk and totally fair pricing.
Admittedly, I’ve been short on spending money and haven’t been here in a while, but I’m pretty sure they’ll let you bring in any shirt, go through their catalog with thousands of available screens, and they print whatever design you choose right on your t-​shirt of choice. This is awesome for getting one of a kind Discharge or ABCDiabolo polos, or maybe even recreating the infamous Man is the Bastard/​Hello Kitty shirt.
Lots of great, rare records here if you’re into punk/​crust/​grind/​etc.
