WALLOWS
Band Los Angeles Formed 2017 LA alt rock
WALLOWS formed in 2017 in Los Angeles. WALLOWS has 7 chart appearances on 7 radio countdowns from 7 stations on RockLists, spanning 2020–2024. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Are You Bored Yet?”, which appears on 5 lists with a best position of #10. The station that charted WALLOWS most often is 88.3 The Sting (Cleveland, OH), with 1 appearance. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2020.
Wallows are the Los Angeles trio of Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston, and Nothing Happens, their 2019 debut album on Atlantic, is a sharp, bittersweet snapshot of young adulthood drifting sideways. Minnette and Lemasters trade guitars and lead vocals, Preston drums and sings backup, and in the early days Zack Mendenhall played bass. They started out putting songs out on their own in April 2017.
"Are You Bored Yet?" is the one that stuck: a hazy, lopsided slow-burn with a lazy groove and a chorus that sounds like a shrug with a heartbeat. It sounds breezy on the surface and a little lonely underneath, which is Wallows all over.
The Remote EP followed in 2020, then a second album, Tell Me That It's Over, in 2022. Model arrived in 2024, and "Calling After Me" showed the band had grown into a tighter, punchier indie pop outfit without losing the ache.
