HAZELWOOD VINYL PLASTICS
the Frankfurt based German record label for the tolerant stoic has been around forever.

In the beginning of forever, there was the band Alex Hazelwood feat. TCS. It was named after the captain of the Exxon Valdez, Alex Josef Hazelwood, who, after enjoying a couple of vodka cocktails, decided to pull ashore on a small reef in Alaska’s Prince William Sound. Let’s just say there was a little oil spilled as a result and the whole area was somewhat of a catastrophe (similar to the apartment where the first Hazelwood records were concocted). It is in this apartment that Hazelwood Vinyl Plastics was formed by an autonomous, overzealous and totally vain crew of characters (in other words, a normal bunch of late bloomer adolescents) who wanted to make albums with people like themselves.

Trends change, hairstyles change and Hazelwood at any rate has their say in changing the music (but idiots will never change). You could think of Hazelwood along with their bands as somewhat of a clan – a hippie commune without the hippies or a terror cell without the terror.

Pop Ruckus!
