Wallows is an American alternative rock band based in Los Angeles. It consists of Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston. The band began releasing songs independently in April 2017, starting with "Pleaser", which reached number two on the Spotify Global Viral 50 chart.
The band members formed Wallows as teenagers in 2011 in a music studio called Join the Band in Van Nuys with Zack Mendenhall (bass).

They also used the name The Narwhals before settling on Wallows in 2017, now without Mendenhall.
In 2018, Wallows signed a deal with Atlantic Records and released their first EP under a major label, Spring. Their debut studio album, Nothing Happens, was released in 2019 and featured the single "Are You Bored Yet?". This followed their EP Remote in 2020.
