Independent record label based in Urbana, Illinois founded by Tommy Duggins in 2012. Perhaps best known for launching the careers of Vestiges and Crystal Warlock, we are run by artists for artists, fostering creativity for an eclectic roster. We specialize in rock and pop-adjacent genres and encourage our artists to produce their best work.

Hand Sandwich is home to subsidiaries Bedroom Bozo Studio (formerly Basement Bozo Studio) and the Carrot Cottage. This gives us full control over the writing, recording, mixing, mastering, and distribution process at very low cost. We invest time and attention in earnest expression, adventurous musical exploration, and good old-fashioned hitmaking.

Demo Policy: Thanks for your sustained interest in the label. We are not accepting submissions at this time.

Initially an exclusively digital label, we’ve begun building up a selected inventory of physical merch. Stay tuned for our Store section!
