What customers say

Great little record shop. Awesome collection of punk/metal/hardcore. Lots of alternative and classic punk as well. Quite a bit general rock but don't expect your typical bargain bin stuff. This shop really shines with is underground and punk selection. Friendly and helpful staff and ownership.

I saw the owner sing a Cher song in Kiel, Germany once. Ever since that night I have the ability to predict the outcome of virtually any badminton match. Highly recommended.

This place was kind of hard to find but otherwise they have a bunch of stuff other than records, including old gaming systems, games, and dvds. I was honestly eyeing that Nintendo 64 haha I'm really happy because they had a limited edition pressing of Congratulations by MGMT that was being sold used online for twice…

★★★★★ — A, 2017-12

What a local record store should be. The only thing i disliked is the CD section was small but still had amazing choice. I bought about 7 CDs at a really good price. The records have a huge selection with literally every genre.
