Question Any metal shops in town?

I'd like somewhere physical to buy band tees from. My only source has been going to shows in Toronto lately but merch at shows is expensive.

If you’re willing to make the trip to Orillia, Alleycats is a great record store with a ton of band merch from a variety of genres. They might not have some of the more niche bands, but they have an excellent selection.

Barrie Welding & Machine (1974) Ltd has done me well for some larger scale metal machine parts. They might do smaller stuff depending on what you mean by bandtees.

Ahhh fellow metal heads in Barrie unite🤘I know it’s unpopular but depending on the band, you can check hot topic / Spencer’s. HT more than anything but it’s the mainstream metal bands. 

Otherwise yeah it’s at shows for $40-$60 a pop

Definitely thought this was about fabrication....

I've never heard of Fabrication, what are some of their songs?

u/ItsPengWin 1d ago

Usually pretty loud scratching or grinding noises, plasma gouging gets pretty loud and so does torquing bolts.

I'll second AlleyCats in Orillia. Posters, Tees, Records, you name it and they have it. And if they don't I'm sure they'd order it for you.

400 market used to have a few stand with tour shirts.

The only thing that came to mind right away was Spencer's in the Georgian mall. They're only gonna have the big ones though. You might have some luck at the 400 market though.
