Wallows – A Tribute to The Strokes

Wallows have quickly made their mark since debuting their self-titled album Nothing Happens in 2019. Consisting of Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston they showcase a high-energy indie rock sound which recalls The Strokes’ light-hearted catalogue.

The band‘s effortless superstar status can be felt when they engage crowds. Their new album, Model, produced by GRAMMY-winning alt-rock guru John Congleton amplifies their vintage-meets-contemporary sound.

Nothing Happens

Wallows have quickly become one of the hottest indie-pop trios today. Their signature track, “Are You Bored Yet? featuring Clairo”, has amassed over one billion streams on Spotify; they’ve signed a record deal and the world has taken note that these young musicians could go far beyond just pleasing their current circle of enthusiastic followers.

Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston remain grounded despite their newly found fame. Instead, they focus on making music that feels authentic.

Nothing Happens is an effortless cool collection of timeless tracks that showcases their talent for crafting melody-laden tunes that compel you to sing along. More than simply beachy melodies though; Nothing Happens offers a deep exploration into their low-risk world; proof that music still lives on in this age where many bands seem content simply fulfilling checkboxes.

Model

Wallows are an LA-based band consisting of Dylan Minnette (vocals, guitar), Braeden Lemasters (guitar) and Cole Preston (drums) who have successfully created their own distinct brand of indie rock that recalls some of The Strokes’ more lively tracks.

It’s evident in their third LP, Model, that the trio have developed from indie-pop sensations of 2019’s Gold certified single “Are You Bored Yet”, featuring Clairo, to alt-rock stars. Produced by GRAMMY Award winning producer John Congleton (St Vincent, Sharon Van Etten), Model showcases the band‘s vintage-meets-contemporary sound.

California band Sword are ready to embark on their world tour that will include arena shows for the first time ever! Their third LP Model was meant to be heard live; Frontier Touring is thrilled that Sword are returning for some of their biggest headline shows yet in Australia and NZ! This release features an exclusive gatefold outer vinyl sleeve, bonus 7″ of “Your Apartment”, as well as 24-inch double-sided posters!

A Warning

Wallows made their way to Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday evening for a sold out performance! Fans cheered and sang along to every word; Wallows could have gone on playing all night long; instead, they concluded their show with a short encore performance.

Young band The Strokes have made quite an impression in the music industry since releasing their debut album Nothing Happens last year – becoming one of the year’s highest streamed albums. Comprised of three childhood friends – Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston – their sunny brand of indie rock recalling The Strokes catalog in terms of sound is both distinctive and fresh – their new single A Warning delves deep into intense memories from past relationships that may soon end; making its aesthetic perfectly complementing its lyrics!

Remember When

On track one, “Only Friend,” Minnette uses her signature soothing vocals to craft lyrics depicting how certain types of relationships erode our innocence, something many can relate to.

Wallows have the youthful charm to be taken seriously without being seen as too juvenile for serious consideration. Their music stands out among an often overwhelming landscape filled with bands striving to fit themselves into whatever category or subgenre is assigned them.

Model, released May 24th by the band with John Congleton (St Vincent, Sharon Van Etten) back at their side as producer, is their lightest project yet and they feel this tour will bring that same energy. Don’t miss it!
