Wallows
Wallows singers/guitarists Braeden Lemasters, Dylan Minnette, and drummer Cole Preston have been playing in groups together since they were 11, starting out at a San Fernando Valley music program, Join the Band. Throughout their time together, the trio have played under several different monikers, the first being “The Feaver,” debuted in 2010 when the four-piece (at this stage, bassist Zack Mendenhall was part of the collective) won 98.7 FM’s RockStar 2010 battle of the band competition, which lead to their 2011 Vans Warped Tour performance. In 2014, the band changed their name to The Narwhals, releasing a self-titled EP the same year.
The band’s current state was birthed by the release of debut single “Pleaser,” in 2017, with the band (now a three-piece), settling on the name, Wallows, inspired by the location in Tony Hawk’s Underground.
Nearly a decade into their friendship, the trio released their major label debut on Atlantic Records, Spring, a collection of six new songs, including “Pictures of Girls” and “These Days”, produced by John Congleton. Wallows' debut EP, follows the release of standalone singles,“Sun Tan”, “Uncomfortable” and “Pulling Leaves off Trees” in 2017.
