What customers say

Amazing experience. The owner was so friendly and knowledgeable. We felt like we were back in time when you get the full music store experience. Lots of great finds! We left with several records and are planning to go back soon for more.

If you like records (buying, selling or trading) Friends of Sound is a hidden "in plain sight" treasure. There is also another business housed here- Wearhouse- loads of jeans, jackets, accessories and CONCERT/ FAN DRIVEN T-shirts. Service here was fantastic. They will play anything you want to hear.

Drove by this place and came in a couple days later to be pleasantly surprised by the massive funk/soul and jazz selection they have. The guys there were super knowledgeable and gave some great recommendations.

★★★★★ — Harrison, 2022-06

Amazing record store. They offer a huge selection of records along with a huge selection of genres to choose from. The atmosphere is pleasant and it's locally ran so it feels more real. They play cool music throughout the store as you shop and the man who works there has always been a pleasure to purchase from.
