Algernon Cadwallader with Star 99 and Walter Mitty And His Makeshift Orchestra

Algernon Cadwallader, a Philly emo band known for catchy, warm indie rock, reunited their original lineup in 2022 after breaking up in 2012. Their latest album blends Joan of Arc and Pavement influences with themes of grief, protest, and social issues.

Walter Mitty And His Makeshift Orchestra originated in Southern California in 2009, founded by Dustin Hayes. Known for their folk-punk and "slop" style, they blend honest lyrics with jangly, DIY instrumentation. Popular songs include "Chamomile" and "Let's Get Breakfast". Their album "Yikes Almighty" was released in 2025, following a unique treasure hunt release. They have supported bands like Modern Baseball and Jeff Rosenstock. The band is recognized for its distinctive home recording charm and cult following.
