Wallows with Benee
Wallows
https://www.wallowsmusic.com
Catchy, whip-smart and unabashedly cool, Wallows make rock music on their own terms -- but everyone is invited to the party. The trio caught global attention when their single "Pictures of Girls" hit the Billboard Top 40 in 2018, bolstered by singer/guitarist/actor Dylan Minnette's starring role in the Netflix breakout drama 13 Reasons Why. On the heels of their 2019 full-length release, Nothing Happens on Atlantic Records, Wallows embarked on a UK tour after kicking things off at The Fonda in their hometown of Los Angeles. Although the band have been playing live shows in various incarnations for years, including a 2011 Warped Tour slot when the guys were literally just kids, Wallows is their calling card to the world. As witnessed at Coachella 2019, Wallows bring their spiky, synth-laden odes to millennial ennui and conflicted romance to life with fuzzy guitars, boundless energy and the strength to find joy in turbulent times.

Wallows, the Los Angeles-based trio of Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston, released their acclaimed Atlantic Records debut album, Nothing Happens, in 2019. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner John Congleton (St. Vincent, Alvvays, Future Islands) who also produced the band's 2018 EP Spring, the album quickly became one of the most-streamed debut albums by any band in 2019 and features the breakthrough platinum single "Are You Bored Yet? (Feat. Clairo)," which has surpassed 602M global streams. 2020 saw Wallows release "OK," a song that took on a new meaning during the pandemic, and their quarantine-made EP, Remote, as well as being named MTV's PUSH Artist of the Month for September. Wallows return in 2021 with brand new single "I Don't Want to Talk" - a first taste of their collaboration with producer Ariel Rechtshaid (Vampire Weekend, Haim, Adele) that's been in the works over the past year.
