Tom Hazelmyer

Musician and record label owner Tom Hazelmyer creates handmade linocuts for his album art and packaging designs.

Printmaker, musician and entrepreneur Tom Hazelmyer has been creating and publishing raw, independent punk music for over 25 years. Amphetamine Reptile Records (AmRep), which began in the early 1980s as a tiny record label run out of a hand grenade crate kept under Hazelmyer’s Marine Corps bunk, quickly became his full-time job. He blends his love of punk music with his love of design by creating unique linocuts to use in the packaging of vinyl records under AmRep. Minnesota Music in this Segment: Halo of Flies Cows
