What customers say
I should have made this review months ago, but I was followed by a man while walking back to my car past this shop. I was shopping here earlier and ran back to the store with him running behind me and walked in the store panicking.
If you’re into old school punk, this place is a goldmine. Tucked away in downtown Raleigh, it’s got serious character and even better records. The selection is deep—tons of classic punk, & rare finds! They also have a really awesome newsletter. Jeff & Usman were super knowledgeable and friendly.
Awesome record shop especially for punk/indie/emo lovers like myself. Found two of the coolest PUP 7” flexi discs with zines!! Definitely will be back and highly recommend!
Nice place! Very small, quaint but quality vinyls. Heavy on hard rock, alt rock, and heavy metal mostly. Really pleasant staff and free stickers!
