American Handstand

The idea of American Handstand started in the early 00s in Columbia, MO by Justin Nardy (now of Expert Work Records) and Michael Welch. The one release we had slated and desperately wanted to release was the discography for a mid 90s Chicago band called Orwell. Fairly broke at the time and like most ideas for labels, nothing really happened. Mid-pandemic, 2020, American Handstand was resurrected in order to release the aforementioned Orwell discography, now known as '1995'. Working with Expert Work Records, American Handstand has become a vehicle to reissue long lost or ignored releases by bands deserving of a release done right.
