Algernon Cadwallader’s raw emo energy takes over KEXP’s studio in a blistering live take on “Shameless Faces (even the guy who made the thing was a piece of shit),” recorded November 5, 2025. 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)—knocks out every jagged riff and heartfelt lyric with visceral intensity.
Behind the scenes, host Troy Nelson keeps the vibe alive while audio engineer Kevin Suggs and mastering whiz Matt Ogaz polish every note. Cameras roll courtesy of Carlos Cruz, Jonathan Jacobson, Luke Knecht, Kendall Rock and Ettie Wahl, with editor Luke Knecht weaving it all together.
