Amphetamine Reptile Records (or AmRep) is a nationally renowned record label which was founded in 1986 by then US Marine Tom Hazelmyer in Washington State, USA. Originally the label existed solely to release records by Hazelmyer’s band, Halo of Flies, but eventually the label’s roster expanded to include releases by Helmet, Melvins, Cows, Helios Creed, Chokebore, Servotron and others. Hazelmyer moved the label to Minneapolis early on. Amphetamine Reptile is also known as Amrep Industries. It was known for its roster of noise rock artists, with the word noise featured in the logo behind the record label’s name. Haze recently announced an exclusive relationship with Lydia Lunch, who will assist with various duties at the label. Today the label is used by The Melvins on occasion to release limited edition 7” singles.

The label is best known for the Dope, Guns ‘n’ Fucking In The Streets series of compilations.
