Emissions is the targeted stop on this route for punk and hardcore. The catalogue gets into releases and reissues that sit beyond a general shop's handful of familiar punk titles, while used records add another reason to visit the Dundas storefront. The distinction between online and physical stock is explicit: not all of the used selection appears on the website. The shop is also connected to the local punk community through Equalizing Distort, the long-running CIUT programme. That connection gives the selection context beyond a genre tag. Pair it with Rotate This around the corner when you want both a broad independent-rock browse and a more focused look through hardcore records and related releases.

Local tips
Do not stop at the website's used listings. Check the shop's physical arrivals, then walk around to Rotate This for a second, differently focused selection.
