If you have never bought something from here…..I like you less.

No matter what my current taste in fashion is or my taste in music (or lack there of), the Rock Shop has been there for me for over 20 years. This place has always been the Superstore of ‘headshops’ and I’m pretty sure it’s still operated by the original owners.

I’ve found some real gems lurking on their sale t-shirt rack and I always want to ask them about the grip of vintage stuff they must be sitting on.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be posting my top three rock shop purchases. I hope no one will lose sleep over this…..

In the meantime, feel free to talk about your best Rock Shop purchases?

I purchased my first chain wallet from the Rock Shop when I was in grade 9. I’ve since retired it but still have it kicking around for when it comes back in style. Thanks Rock Shop!

They used to sell triple beams and gold razor blades with bootleg Minor Threat t-shirts behind them.
