Best Place To Buy Into The Austin Underground

Sound Exchange

The future of Austin music can be found right now at this feisty "mom and pop" store (as the industry calls 'em) on the Drag. Offering the most complete selection of alternative music releases from our own scene, as well as a broad selection from the world over, Sound Exchange has its finger on the raging pulse of the latest music (as well as the finest new Austin poster art). Offering rack upon rack of used music bargains and a first-class selection of mags and 'zines, Sound Exchange bears little resemblance to the somewhat moribund store it was a mere five or so years ago. Sure, they've got the attitude, but they also walk it like they talk it, which is why Sound Exchange is the center of this city's new music community.
