About us

About Lithium Records

Lithium Records is an independent Canadian record shop focused on physical music with staying power.

We stock new releases, essential restocks, and used classics—records that mattered then and still matter now. Our selections lean toward alternative, punk, metal, hip-hop, and underground music, with a strong respect for the era when discovering music took effort and intention.

We’re selective by design. You won’t find every mainstream release here, and that’s on purpose. The records we carry earn their space, whether they’re brand-new releases from bands we believe in, long-standing classics that never went out of rotation, or used records with history and character.

While we’re rooted in the 90s—the era we grew up in—we’re not a nostalgia shop. We’re interested in music with lineage: new artists influenced by the past, limited pressings that make sense, and physical formats that still mean something.

We also support Canadian and emerging artists when their work belongs on the shelf alongside the classics. Geography alone isn’t the selling point—quality is.

Lithium Records ships across North America and exists for people who still care about physical music, liner notes, and the feeling of finding something real.

No filler. No trends. Just music worth owning
