Amphetamine Reptile Records (or AmRep Industries) is a record label[1] founded in 1986 by Tom Hazelmyer in Washington state. The label specializes in noise rock and also released Strap It On, the debut album by alternative metal band Helmet 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."[2] The label was the subject of the 2015 documentary The Color of Noise.[3]
