Hello Awkward on Listening Lyrics, Oct. 3, 2025

Fri, 10/03/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

hello Awkward, KDRT.jpg

This week on KDRT!

In 2021, three middle-schoolers from Davis came together to form a band — and Hello Awkward was born! Fast-forward to today, and these young musicians are making serious noise. Meet Benjamin Brothers on lead guitar and vocals, Andrew Whang on percussion, and Atticus Yum on bass. In the KDRT studio this week on Listening Lyrics, they shine not just as rising musical talents, but as thoughtful, funny, and grounded young people with a clear sense of purpose.

Their love of music and life fills the airwaves, making this hour one you won’t want to miss. Tune in to KDRT for an unforgettable session with Hello Awkward — where youth, talent, and heart take center stage!
