What customers say

I really loved this store. We stayed in Boise for a few days visiting friends and stumbled on this on the second to last day and it was brilliant. Amazing selection of records from artists across all genres with an assortment of poster recreations and band t-shirts. Please go here if you’re in the area and love music!

In Boise music isn't a very prominent thing. This store makes it feel like the opposite. So many options from different music genres. Always have a great variety of different artists. The atmosphere feels like an underground recording studio with the huge portland oregon vibe.

★★★★★ — Noah, 2025-12

Fun store, only wished I could have spent more time looking around. I brought my parents vinyl and cds in to sell. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Sales prices are low. I received $12 for about 40 cds and could not sell the records. I'm sure they were fair prices.
