The Garage

The Garage is a high-octane collection where over 300 raw Canadian slabs of vinyl rumble and roar straight out of the crates to blow out your speakers. From fuzz-soaked 60s garage rock to frenzied proto-punk and obscurities you’ve probably never heard, this playlist celebrates the unpolished, unfiltered, and utterly addictive sounds that defined Canada’s underground rock scene. Plug in, spin it loud, and let these rare grooves take you right back into the dusty heart of the garage.
