Algernon Cadwallader

Algernon Cadwallader

Their name is pronounced “al-jur-non kad-wall-uh-der” – a strange name without obvious origins. This Philly punk band doesn’t perpetuate the rage of other hard rockers, but instead uses their high energy and rocking tunes to bring out the best in the listener. Long song titles like “Look Down (Because the Ground Is Easier to Understand and Doesn’t Take So Much Work to Figure Out But I’d Rather Not Know Where I’m Standing and Have An Idea of What Life Is All About)” betray an irreverence and love for fun uncommon in Philly rock. Album artwork is missing the skulls and violence common to the genre in favor of simple and colorful depictions of nature and dead guys. If you like punk rock but aren’t mad at much, this band is for you.

Algernon Cadwallader will be playing FEST 8 in Gainsville, Florida this upcoming Halloween.

The Percocettes

One fine day in early 2006, a determined Cole Della-Zucca picked up a guitar, and told her friends she was going to start a band, eventhough at the time she couldn’t sing or play the guitar. A bit later, Toothless George was playing Cole’s guitar at a party in her apartment. She grabbed the guitar out of his hands and played a song she had written. He was instantly blown away by her raw talent, and fell in love with her sound.
