There's no question that rock 'n' roll has been responsible for the birth of the T-shirt as a wearable graphic art form. In the classic rock era, artists were dedicated to creating brilliant album art designs, which were then modified for the T-shirts that would hang in the record store alongside the music. While record sales may be limited today, you can still find an extensive array of classic, punk and modern rock shirts at The Rock Shop, a Granville Street mainstay.
Heavy metal fans are an obsessive bunch. If you're prone to throwing up the devil horns every time you hear a Slayer song, you've probably been to the long-running Granville Street memorabilia hub, The Rock Shop. The racks are filled with black T-shirts with your favourite band’s logo, but you can also show your love for all things rock via the store's vast inventory of posters, pins, belt buckles, jean jacket patches and more.
