About Us

Welcome to Sonic Bookshop, your independent haven for all things music and popular culture! We're not just another online bookstore; we're a dedicated space run by music lovers, for music lovers, and a more ethical alternative to major online retailers.

Our journey began out of a shared frustration with the cluttered and often difficult-to-navigate websites of major online retailers. Trying to unearth that specific biography, delve into the history of a genre, or find books on your favourite artists felt like an endless quest. We knew there had to be a better way to connect passionate readers with the incredible world of music literature, without compromising on values.

That's why Sonic Bookshop was born. We set out to create a place where discovering books about music and its vibrant culture is intuitive, enjoyable, and inspiring. We offer a wide selection of books on everything from artist biographies to the history of genres, music theory, cultural studies, and much more. We're constantly expanding our collection to bring you the books you're looking for.

While we can't always match the rock-bottom prices of major online retailers, we believe in offering value in other ways. That's why we've introduced the Sonic Book Club, our loyalty program where you can collect points with every purchase, leading to big discounts on future orders! It's our way of thanking you for supporting an independent business.

Beyond our extensive catalogue, we're building a community. Our site features interesting articles that dive into various aspects of music history and culture, often highlighting our best title recommendations along the way. We’ve also designed our site to make it easy to find related books, helping you explore new facets of your favourite topics or stumble upon your next must-read.

At Sonic Bookshop, we believe that the stories behind the songs, the lives of the legends, and the evolution of cultural movements deserve a platform that's as passionate and dedicated as the fans themselves. By choosing Sonic Bookshop, you're not just buying a book; you're supporting an independent business that prioritises its community and offers a more ethical way to shop.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.
