Handstand Records is a DIY record label and curated vinyl distro that supports like-minded musicians who emphasize art over business and community over commodity.
That being said, we do have a huge shop full of cool underground shit for sale: punk, hardcore, metal, shoegaze, indie rock, emo, vinyl records, cassette tapes, CDs.
Back in the late ’90s, Handstand was originally just a distro which operated under numerous monikers, including Homemade Waffles and Tron Distribution. When Will decided he wanted to self-release records for his own bands around the turn of the century, the distro expanded into a label as well. Though the majority of Handstand’s releases have been projects involving Will, he has also released many records of friends’ bands. He also finds it difficult to write about himself in third person.
