Algernon Cadwallader Live on KEXP

Algernon Cadwallader crash KEXP’s studio for a raw, in-your-face performance of “Shameless Faces (even the guy who made the thing was a piece of shit),” recorded November 5, 2025. This emo-revival five-piece—Peter Helmis (bass/vocals), Joe Reinhart (guitar/backing vocals), Nick Tazza (drums), Colin Mahoney (guitar) and Bryce Pulaski (keys/backing vocals)—is hosted by Troy Nelson, engineered by Kevin Suggs and mastered by Matt Ogaz.

Captured by a five-camera crew (Carlos Cruz, Jonathan Jacobson, Luke Knecht, Kendall Rock & Ettie Wahl) and edited by Luke Knecht, every sweaty riff and shouted lyric comes through loud and clear. Stream it on KEXP, hit up algernoncadwallader.bandcamp.com or kexp.org, and join their YouTube channel for exclusive perks.
