As an expat NY'er, this humble (yet complex) record store is one of the hallmarks for Montreal Underground music (specializing in the provision of quality local acts like Dopethrone, Powercup, Vulgar Deli, and Crimes amongst others), and a welcoming oasis of coffee, CDs, vinyl, music-related literature/video/toys/etc. that made me feel like I was back on the Lower East Side. Steeped in an unrepentant musical "True Grit", this establishment embodies a jackhammer-wallop of drive and purpose. As well as the physical establishment, their online shopping cart is clean and well-organized, with all current releases easily found under a well-indexed classification standard. Having embraced socialization long ago, Soundcentral is easily located on both Twitter and Facebook (with numerous fans and likes to go around). For the vinyl aficionados, it's well worth an afternoon browse that may net you treasures worthy of Memory Lane (just picked up "Get The Knack" for RIDICULOUSLY cheap, with awesome playability). Just get down there, already? You won't regret it.
