Editorial Review for Hogwild Records, Tapes & CDs – by Jennifer Wehunt
Wide Open
The bumper-stickered front door stays open most evenings when the weather is nice--another of the small differences that sets Hogwild apart from the massive music store conglomerates who have almost cornered the used-CD market.
Still Indie
One of the last independent record shops in San Antonio, Hogwild blends personality into its disc selection, both new and used, and seems to attract the same in its clientele, a fact that could easily be contributed to the store's proximity to San Antonio College.
Just Ask
Infinitely less conformed and corporate than other alternatives, Hogwild employees seem to have the remarkable ability of knowing exactly what they're talking about while completely avoiding the appearance of work. Despite this somewhat mysterious conundrum, the bins remain stocked, discs can be special ordered, and the music revolution continues.

Looking for original hard to find band stickers? This is the place. Don't go to those over priced corporate places near the malls, just don't do it. Why spend $20 on a cd when you can buy it for $10-$15 here? I bet you won't walk out with just one item. Support your local Record Store!
Pros: bumper stickers, rare cds, great shirt selection
Cons: closes early

As one who who worked as a rock jock all over the country during the 70's it's refreshing to see an independent record store such as this. The big chains refuse to special order anything,and employ teenie bopper idiots who don't know music from shinola (thats putting it nicely). The people at Hogwild are the most knowledgeable and helpful. The in store stock is excellent and if you need a rare or out stock item just ask. We need more stores like this!
Pros: helpful staff, well stocked, good parking
