Soundclash is one of the last original Independent record shops in East Anglia opened in February 1991 as a essential continuation from legendary Backs Records over in Swan Lane as they continued as global independent distributors with Rough Trade and the national Cartel Collective.

The Norwich city centre shop specialises in new releases, independent and underground music from around the world on vinyl and CD and is also the frontline city centre stockist for gig and festival tickets, record boxes, bags and cases, music accessories and related products along with high quality previously loved vinyl not forgetting a few books.

Soundclash was named one of Britains best small shops by the Guardian in 2007 and offers a unique shopping experience, allowing customers to listen to vinyl or CDs in store before purchasing, offering expertise, recommendations and a high quality personalised service, selling products that are hard to obtain at competitive prices.

Soundclash is the only city centre ticket outlet for UEA LCR and the WATERFRONT venues also now stocking all EPIC STUDIOS  tickets plus many local and some national events including festivals.
