Wallows
Sun-drenched indie rock with a nostalgic heart. Shimmering guitars and dual vocals that feel like the soundtrack to a late-summer coming-of-age film.

Wallows emerged from Los Angeles in 2017 as a quintessential modern indie rock outfit, successfully bridging the gap between DIY bedroom pop aesthetics and major-label alternative rock. Composed of Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters, and Cole Preston, the trio has been playing together since childhood, a fact reflected in their tight musical telepathy and shared vocal duties.
Their sound identity is defined by shimmering 'jangle-pop' guitars, prominent basslines, and a heavy reliance on 1980s new wave and post-punk influences, filtered through a contemporary lens. Their 2019 debut album, 'Nothing Happens', solidified their position as leaders of the 'indie-pop' wave, particularly through the massive success of the Clairo-assisted single 'Are You Bored Yet?' Critically, they are noted for their ability to capture the 'coming-of-age' zeitgeist, utilizing nostalgic synth textures and lyrics that navigate the complexities of young adulthood. Their evolution has seen them move from the guitar-driven energy of their early singles toward more diverse instrumentation and polished production, while maintaining a core identity rooted in melodic accessibility and emotional vulnerability.
