Los Angeles indie rockers Wallows want you to come over and barbeque them. And by barbeque we mean ask them questions, not marinate them in garlic, soy cause, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and chili overnight and then lay them on a smoking grill. Braeden Lemasters, Cole Preston and Dylan Minnette (the three young men who make up Wallows) are inviting a handful of lucky Australian fans to join them for an online hangout/Q&A session, and if you want to get in on that—click this bit and write a 5000-word essay about why you’d like to attend a virtual hang out with Wallows. There’s no essay, but you’ll have to submit some details, like what you intend to ask Wallows during the Q&A and whether you’re allergic to peanuts. Nothing major. Before you do that though, check out the single ‘Scrawny’ from Wallows’ 2019 debut, Nothing Happens.

For many young bands, the release of their debut album is more than just making music. It’s a coming of age which documents that special time a group of friends have found the ability to define who they are and express it to the world. ‘Nothing Happens’ is the first LP from San Franciscan trio Wallows who are Cole Preston (drums), Braeden Lemasters (vocals/guitar) and Dylan Minnette (vocals/guitar). Where some may stumble at the first step, Wallows have already excelled themselves on this debut album and set the bar very high for what else is to come in the future.

Having first formed when they were aged only eleven years old, the childhood friends have poured a lifetime of experiences complete with all those important first heartbreaks, initial uncertainties and bursts of excitement into 11 tracks of gorgeous sun-kissed indie pop. Over the years, the trio has had a number of names, from the Feaver to The Narwhals. Now they’re taking a big step to help people remember the band: A full-length album.

“It feels really great. The album is something that we’ve been looking forward to for a decade and it’s really trippy that it’s happening so soon. It’s been like the longest build up of all time.” – Cole Preston
