We Gave Our Website a Make-Over!

Hello everybody! Sorry for our extended technical difficulties, we lost an old server and decided to overhaul our website in the meantime. 

You might notice we no longer have a comprehensive web-store. Unfortunately this won't be back anytime soon. You can still mail-order from us anytime you'd like, just get in touch and we can send you out a PayPal invoice for your order. E-mail: weborders@sonicboomrecords.com or phone: 206 297 2666. We're also happy to check stock for you on the phone any time.

Look around the new site, we should have a lot more lists, goodies for sale, and reviews coming soon!

Our new design comes from Dustin Travis White, if you'd like to investigate his work check here: http://dustintraviswhite.com/
