Wallows (composed of Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters, and Cole Preston) returned in 2024 with their highly anticipated third studio album, Model, which saw them reunite with GRAMMY Award-winning producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten). Recorded at Los Angeles’ legendary Sunset Sound, the album was met by critical applause from the likes of CLASH, proclaiming Model “a no-skips record,” ROLLING STONE heralding it as their “arena-ready third album,” and DORK who stated the album is “a stunning, natural evolution into their next chapter… guaranteed to reward on each and every listen.” Model includes the band’s biggest streaming debut for a single to date and their first song to hit the Top 40 chart in “Calling After Me,” as well as the singles “Your Apartment,” “You (Show Me Where My Days Went),“ “Bad Dream,” and “A Warning.”

In March 2022, the band released their sophomore album, Tell Me That It’s Over, produced by 3x GRAMMY Award-winner Ariel Rechtshaid (Vampire Weekend, Haim, Adele). TMTIO saw Wallows continuing on their ever-evolving journey of sonic exploration, fusing a vast array of musical ideas – from lo-fi post-punk and indie-folk to early ‘90s dance-pop psychedelia – into their own one-of-a-kind creative vision. TMTIO marked the full-length follow-up to Wallows’ hugely popular 2019 debut album, Nothing Happens, also produced by John Congleton. The album, which includes the 3x Platinum single “Are You Bored Yet? (feat. Clairo),” proved to be one of that year’s highest streamed debuts and has since gone on to be certified Gold in the United States. As ambitious and successful on stage as in the studio, Wallows are currently traveling the world on The Model Tour with shows at such iconic venues as Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Kia Forum, Alexandra Palace, Zénith, Hordern Pavilion, and more throughout 2024. Wallows will continue bringing their live show around the globe in 2025 as part of The Model & More Tour.

 

Shirt, the new album from Aaron Maine aka Porches, is part angsty fantasy, part confessional melodrama – a rock album that oscillates between reality and make-believe to reflect both the innocence of suburban youth and the frayed reality of adulthood. A fusion of chaotic impulses, insatiable desires, and a perpetual yearning, Shirt plays with the tension between one’s person and persona – the weight of your dreams crashing up against your reality. The result is something both familiar and uncanny, an anthemic tribute to this intrinsic duality built on crashing and caressing sounds.

A concise record that thrusts listeners into a fevered state, Shirt’s hormonal rock songs collide with emotional ballads to create a dynamic tension that propels the listener ahead. The album speaks in broad, relatable terms while maintaining an intimate connection with its creator, blurring the line between universality and personal revelation. Shirt is as much about the climaxes as it is about the banality between life’s most memorable moments, celebrating not just the first kiss but also the anxiety intertwined with it.

Shirt is instantly recognizable as Porches’ heaviest album to date. Grungy guitars that shine with a menacing glint, drums and bass that punch you warmly in the stomach, interspersed with moments of eerie calmness to create a physical sense of tension and release that resonates with each track.
