1. Classic vinyl
A dad who loves rock deserves a vinyl in his collection — not a compressed stream, a real record you pull out on Sunday morning. Here are three albums our regulars still buy in 2026:
💿 The Dark Side of the Moon — Pink Floyd
RECOMMENDEDThe absolute classic of progressive rock. 45 minutes you listen to straight through — perfect for a dad who discovered Floyd in the 70s or who finally wants the remastered vinyl.

~$38Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog, Rock and Roll — all on one record. The winning gift for a dad who grew up with Jimmy Page.
View Led Zeppelin IV on Amazon.ca →💿 Appetite for Destruction — Guns N' Roses
~$32The album that redefined hard rock in 1987. For the dad who still blasts Sweet Child O' Mine full volume in the garage.

2. Rock books
The best rock autobiographies for dad — true stories, written by the people who were there. Perfect for the armchair, the patio or the drive.
📖 Life — Keith Richards
THE CLASSIC550 pages of brutal honesty and dark humour. How Richards wrote (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction in his sleep, his open-G tuning, and why he never quit smoking. The greatest rock autobiography ever written.
View Life in the shop →📖 Born to Run — Bruce Springsteen
~$24The Boss tells his life, his New Jersey, the endless tours and the depression behind the stage. For the dad who knows every album by heart — or who wants to discover the man behind the legend.

Perfect for Whisky à Gogo nights at the 132 — or to recreate the bar vibe at home on a Sunday evening. Two small purchases that turn an ordinary glass into a ritual.
🥃 Whiskey glasses set (rocks glass)
$15 — $40Four old fashioned glasses in crystal or thick glass — sturdy enough for the patio, nice enough to impress. The accessible gift you see every time he pours one.
View whiskey glasses on Amazon.ca →🧊 Spherical ice ball mold
$15 — $25An ice ball melts slower than a cube — whiskey stays cold without diluting too fast. The pro-bar detail dad would never buy for himself, but will love receiving.

For the grill king dad — perfect for the 132 patio or his own backyard. A complete kit replaces the rusty tongs he's been dragging around for ten years.
🍖 Complete BBQ tool kit
~$59Spatula, tongs, fork, brush — all stainless steel with a case. The most useful patio purchase of the season. Our regulars pull these out by mid-June when the 132 patio opens in full.

For dad who still plays — or who comes to Thursday jam night. Two small purchases under $15 that show you know his passion.
🎸 Dunlop Tortex picks (12-pack)
~$6The standard pick on the planet — 0.73 mm thickness, texture that won't slip. You lose one per show; a pack of 12 covers six months of rehearsals.
View Dunlop picks →🎵 Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 10-46 strings
~$8The best-selling electric guitar strings in the world. Change them before the next jam night — dad will show up with a fresh sound and zero excuse for being out of tune.
View Ernie Ball strings →6. Concert earplugs
Protecting his ears at 132 shows is a health gift — especially for a dad who's been coming for 20 years and still says "it's not too loud."
👂 Loop Experience
~$50 — $60High-fidelity earplugs that reduce volume without muffling the music. Discreet, reusable, and far more comfortable than the orange foam plugs from the corner store. The responsible gift for a music lover who doesn't want to stop going to shows.
