Record Store Day came under fire recently when independent labels Sonic Cathedral and Howling Owl released a statement that said “how every day should be record store day” and that the current Record Store Day “rules and regulations” mean that it’s “not beneficial to small, backs to the wall labels”.

Drenge recently echoed these sentiments, stating: “It started out as a good idea for getting people back into record shops with a cool little ltd edition 7-inch or whatever, but it’s just turned into a swamp of bullshit.”

The organisers behind Record Store Day responded with an open letter, asking their critics to “give us a break”.
