What customers say

Stopped in to check this place out and it's pretty awesome. This place has a great atmosphere, excellent customer service, smells nice and the set up is super cool from ceiling to floor. The ladies that were working were very nice, had super knowledge on the products we asked about.

This store has almost everything for the music fan, from vintage vinyl to cool music artist T-shirts. It also features a wide variety of "curios" like incense and fantasy figurines and candles.

★★★★★ — Jim, 2025-09

It's probably the only place in town that has any good selection of CD's. It's a kind of record / CD shop/ fantasy clothing, crystal, statuary item/ rock band tee shirt/ skateboarding/ headshop. If you are a 70's, or 80's headbanger, you're going to love this place!

★★★★☆ — Robert, 2025-07

Love the new store. Definitely will always miss the old store. One can wish that they'll reopen it someday as the second location but who knows. They definitely have a lot of really great t-shirts spread out all over the store at the new location on North Street.
