It’s us. Hi...
We’re the two behind Peninsula Records and Books. A little independent store on the Yorke Peninsula filled with the music and books we actually love. Every album, every story, handpicked by us. No algorithms, no filler, no trend-chasing.
We believe in pop music and power ballads. In Australian stories that stay with you. In first concerts, first albums, top 5s by genre, and the kind of songs that make you cry in the car. We believe in re-reading your favourite book. In playing a record all the way through. In hairbrush microphones and dog-eared pages.
We opened this shop to do something we love and to create something we would get excited about finding. We’re so glad you’re here.
