Walter Etc. is the brainchild of Dustin Cole Hayes, who has been creating music (originally as Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra), writings, videos, and art between Southern California and Portland, OR for over a decade. He co-runs the label and art collective Making New Enemies with Milk Flud, and has worked alongside Jeff Rosenstock and Ian Farmer (Slaughter Beach, Dog/Modern Baseball) in the studio.
