Such a great store. The dudes behind the counter are awesome, super knowledgeable and so greate with everyone. I'd pay more to shop here than at other record stores (talking to you Cheapo Records in /central)

This is an awesome store for metal and hardcore music vinyls! They have a really cool collection, and I always end up spending a long time perusing through their collection. The records are very decently priced and you will often find some really hidden gems...Read More

Cool store! They have a great selection of vinyl, mostly punk/metal/hardcore, which can be hard to find. They also had a selection of printed materials, and I love 'zines! I plan to stop in whenever I'm in the area. They required masks, but that is no...Read More

don't miss Armageddon if you're in the neighborhood and have even a slight interest in metal and hardcore music. Vinyl is obviously their bread and butter but check out their other formats and racks of second hand merch. I believe they still buy merch and...Read More

One of my favourite punk shops for sure. It's easy to find what you're looking for here, because everything is sorted alphabetically and by genre. The prices are good and the shop looks clean (especially by punk standards). If you're looking for punk, hardcore or...Read More

This place is really great and I'm glad "underground" record stores like these are still active and popular these days. We got some records and CDs from there of a mix of old and new music. It even has music for non metalheads so don't...Read More

Our first attempt to check in and they were not open but the next day we were lucky! Awesome inventory of better known to unknown indie/punk and a nice selection of books too. Definitely a must if you are or have been into the scene.

My favorite store in New England Period. Friendly staff. You can stand there and shop in a comfortable environment even if its by appointment only. My home away from home. Every single time I walk into their establishment I feel like a teenager again.

I just got my copy of Angst “lite life”, a somewhat difficult album to find, and it is perfect. The shipping container is extra sturdy. The album is in A++ condition. I’m extremely pleased and will definitely be shopping here again.

Best selection of any genre of records I've found. Prices are A+0kay, I've read that customer service was rude, don't you know at a metal-themed record shop that's a form of high courtesy, will be back
