Insound still exists, but only for 1 more day

Remember Insound? It was a pioneering online-only indie record store that launched way back in 1999. Based out of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Insound specialized in vinyl, sold turntables and merch, made indie trading cards and threw SXSW and CMJ parties. In 2008, Insound was acquired by Alternative Distribution Alliance, the indiependent label distributor owned by Warner Music Group; the site was shut down in 2015 only to be rebranded later that year as a discount vinyl/CD/merch store covering all genres of music.

If you were wondering, Insound is still around, but only for one more day as it’s being shut down on March 20, 2020: “We would like to thank you for your patronage and your passion for vinyl,” Insound writes on their Instagram. “We understand and share the crate digger mentality and wish you many more years of happy hunting.” They’ve currently got a 40% off colored vinyl sale so, for example, if you want the new Code Orange on clear wax, you can get it for $12.59.
