Wallows

About

Wallows isn't just another indie band; they're a snapshot of Gen Z angst filtered through a distinctly Californian lens, a sonic Polaroid of youthful uncertainty and sun-drenched melodies. The trio – Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters, and Cole Preston – crafts a sound that’s equal parts slacker rock, 80s new wave revival, and shimmering indie-pop, drawing influence from The Strokes to The Cure. Emerging from the fertile Los Angeles music scene, their early EPs showcased a knack for catchy hooks and introspective lyrics, quickly garnering them a devoted online following. Their debut album, "Nothing Happens," catapulted them into the mainstream, cementing their status as purveyors of a relatable brand of indie-rock that resonates with a generation grappling with the complexities of modern life. Beyond the music, Wallows has cultivated a strong visual identity, often incorporating vintage aesthetics and DIY sensibilities into their music videos and artwork. Their collaborative spirit is evident in their work with artists like Clairo, further blurring genre lines and expanding their sonic palette. Recent projects, like "Tell Me That It's Over," demonstrate a continued evolution, pushing the boundaries of their established sound while retaining the core elements that define Wallows: honest songwriting, infectious energy, and a commitment to capturing the zeitgeist of young adulthood. They are more than just musicians; they are chroniclers of a generation.
