98 Musicians Predict the 2022 NFL Season
Now that Labor Day is in the rearview mirror, it means that football season is finally here. For the fourth season running, we asked a group of musicians to give their insight on how this season will shake out. No one predicted last year’s Super Bowl matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals, though a few accurately forecasted that the Rams would take home the Lombardi Trophy. As usual, some fans-turned-musicians are overly optimistic about their team’s chances, while others brace for another season at the bottom of the standings. Will this year be different? We’ll know in February. For now, here’s our collection of predictions.

A Day in the Life of…Wallows
Playing Lollapalooza is a big step forward for any band. But for Wallows, who were playing the event for the second time in their career, the moment was even more substantial. With a mid-day slot on the T-Mobile stage (one of the two main stages), it was a chance to see how far they’ve come in four years. They’ve been here before, but the pre-game jitters still exist. “There’s more pressure because we’re in a much bigger slot,” frontman Dylan Minnette says in the band’s dressing room a few hours before the set. “And we’re a bigger band compared to what we were then. There was pressure last time since it was our first festival we’d done as Wallows. You try not to have expectations or hopes of what it will look like [from the crowd]. I always get a little nervous before festival sets more th...
Wallows Are Living the Dream Working as Best Friends
At 10 a.m. on a Monday morning, the members of Wallows — Braeden Lemasters, Cole Preston, and Dylan Minnette — caught their first glimpses of themselves as our Zoom call began. “Oh, I look dead, holy fuck,” Minnette says. “Dude, I feel you,” Preston agrees. “I woke up and looked in the mirror, and I was like, ‘What the hell happened to me yesterday?’” “I’m really trying not to look like a zombie,” Lemasters jokes. Sorry guys, the exhaustion won’t be over quite yet. Their biggest headlining tour to date — stopping along North America and Europe — kicked off on April 1, which bleeds into 2023. Tell Me That It’s Over reimagines the bouncy wittiness of their 2020 Remote EP and the spunky pop of their 2019 debut, Nothing Happens. It checks off the expected growth in sound of a sophomore album, ...
Wallows Announce Sophomore Album, Release ‘Especially You’
Wallows have a new album on the way. Dylan Minnette and company have shared the details for their forthcoming second studio record, Tell Me That It’s Over. The band also shared the latest song from the album, “Especially You,” and its video. [embedded content][embedded content] “It’s about when you’re in the early stages of a relationship and you get so worried that the other person’s mind will change at the flip of a switch,” Minnette said in a statement about the meaning behind the song. “It’s about stressing over the smallest things for no reason, but it’s definitely self-aware about the fact that I’m doing this all to myself.” Following their 2019 Nothing Happens, the new album is out on March 25 and is available for pre-order now. The 10-track record was produced by the multi-Gra...
Wallows Release New Single ‘I Don’t Want to Talk’
Wallows are back with a new video for “I Don’t Want to Talk.” This is the band’s first release since their Remote EP in February. Having worked for over a year on this track, Wallows stars in the warm, vintage-kissed video. The song sings of pushing a girl away and simultaneously pitying yourself: “I’m not alright / but I don’t need comfort / I don’t want to talk.” As the band takes part in random activities—reading fortune cookies, boxing, jump roping, singing to a mirror in a field—they attempt to avoid her seeping into their thoughts again, and they would rather have her “tell me that it’s over.” “‘I Don’t Want to Talk’ is ultimately a song about insecurities,” Dylan Minnette said in a statement. “Not only in yourself, but in this case, particularly in a relationship. It centers ar...
Wallows Get Physical in ‘Virtual Aerobics’
At-home workouts may not always be motivating, but Wallows’ new single and video prove otherwise. The L.A. alt-rock trio dropped their latest single, “Virtual Aerobics,” on Friday as the second off their upcoming Remote EP. The uptempo track, produced by John DeBold, Sachi Diserafino, and Wallows themselves, hears the guys take a simple piano riff and build a melodic and poppy rock tune over it, perfect for any quarantine workout. And its video, choreographed by Pony Sweat’s Emilia Richeson-Valiente, has the guys partaking in their own “Virtual Aerobics.” The “Wii Fit” vibes certainly help. “Virtual Aerobics” track is Wallows’ latest since September’s “Nobody Gets Me (Like You),” while their new project will be the group’s third EP and fourth project, following the 2019 debut Not...
