This was one of the most influential companies in my life. They basically produced the soundtrack of my youth, growing up on the south side.

The role Wax Trax! played in the alternative music scene of the '80s and '90s can not be understated. Don't let this place disappear like CBGB!

Paying homage next week while in Chicago for work. A plaque outside commemorating Wax Trax! Records would be perfect!

This building is so culturally relevant that even today the name Wax Trax is just synonymous with Chicago. The genre has proven it stands the test of time and now transcends it, evidenced by the late Juice Wrld wearing their merch.
