Amphetamine Reptile Records Amphetamine Reptile Records (or AmRep Industries) is a nationally renowned record label which was founded in 1986 by then-US Marine Tom Hazelmyer in Washington state, US. The label is best known for its roster of noise rock artists, and its "Dope, Guns 'n' Fucking In The Streets" series of compilations. The label also released the debut album by alternative metal band Helmet, "Strap It On", which sold more than 40,000 records. According to Hazelmyer, the success of the album was vital to keeping AmRep going throughout the 1990s, as it "helped support the other things that sold less." The label was the subject for the 2014 documentary "The Color of Noise", which goes over the label's origins, some of the bands that made releases through the label, and the current affairs of Tom Hazelmyer.
