Algernon Cadwallader Live on KEXP

Algernon Cadwallader hit the KEXP studio on November 5, 2025, to unleash a raw, emo-fueled take on “Shameless Faces (even the guy who made the thing was a piece of shit).” The five-piece lineup—Peter Helmis (bass/vocals), Joe Reinhart (guitar/backing vocals), Nick Tazza (drums), Colin Mahoney (guitar) and Bryce Pulaski (keys/backing vocals)—delivered all the jittery riffs and punchy hooks fans love.

Hosted by Troy Nelson, engineered by Kevin Suggs and mastered by Matt Ogaz, the session was captured by a dream team of cameras (Carlos Cruz, Jonathan Jacobson, Luke Knecht, Kendall Rock & Ettie Wahl) and edited by Luke Knecht.
