Social media has changed the way we interact with our favourite artists. More than just musicians, they’re now personalities, people we can interact with on the daily. Now more than ever we’re aware that musicians are pretty normal people, they just have a weird job. Every week we get to know one of our favourite SoundCloud heroes, internet dating style, in our new column, Internet Crush.
Wallows are keeping California’s indie dream alive. Ten years into their career as a band but barely in their twenties, the trio is a product of Hollywood, conceived as a project to keep Braeden and Dylan busy between acting gigs. Completed by drummer Cole, the group specialise in an amalgamation of everyone’s favourite indie bands from the last two decades, inspired by everything from the Strokes to St Vincent with some Frank Ocean thrown in for good measure.
When not fronting Wallows, Dylan also stars in Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. However, all three members of teh group are keen to avoid the ‘actor turned musician’ tag, focusing on Wallows full time at the moment. We caught them for a drink on their first trip to London for this week’s Internet Crush.
