Drop to Pop

Drop to Pop is unusually small even by specialist record-shop standards: its official profile describes 87 square feet. Greg Daniels, whose musical background includes Vaux and Glass Hits, opened it in 2023. Punk and hardcore records share that concentrated space with tapes, including live recordings connected to the local scene. The current Big Cartel catalogue includes several 2025 and 2026 live-set cassettes, making the shop's show-community connection tangible rather than just a description of its atmosphere. This is a targeted stop for someone following that music, not a replacement for a broad CD or jazz shopping day. Check the current releases, then treat the physical visit as a chance to look beyond the titles that first caught your attention.

2185 North Broadway near the Broadway and Curtis area. RTD's record-store guide identifies routes 8 and 48 and the ART connection in this area.

Keep the visit focused on punk and hardcore, and check the official feed if you want to connect record shopping with a show. Its small footprint is part of the visit, not evidence of a broad-format inventory.
