What customers say

This place is heavy music heaven! I was visiting from out of town and this was one of the highlights of my trip. The selection is out of this world and I loved the CDs they had. They even had band tees and patches. The employees were so nice too! If you are a fan of punk, metal or indie, this is a must see!

Hard Rock Haven Selection *Used/New/Reissue - 4/5 Lots of used to dig through, along with new and reissues primarily focused on the hard rock side *Variety - 3/5 This is a specialty shop with the primary focus on Punk, Heavy Metal and Indie. There are definitely other genres, mainly in the used section.

One of my favourite punk shops for sure. It's easy to find what you're looking for here, because everything is sorted alphabetically and by genre. The prices are good and the shop looks clean (especially by punk standards). If you're looking for punk, hardcore or metal, this is the place to go.

Literally my favorite record shop in the world. The collection isn’t necessarily extensive but they switch out the records a few times a month and have some WILD finds. I’ve gotten some records I still haven’t seen in other record shops. Best part is, all records are at retail price or lower!
