Wallows has reached new musical territories with “OK.”
The three-piece band has been rising exponentially in fame in these past few years. Selling out huge venues left and right, growing an insanely dedicated fan base, and releasing consistently high quality music are just some of the efforts Wallows has been taking part in to ensure their continued success.
This success has come particularly since the release of their debut album, Nothing Happens. Wallows saw millions upon millions of new streams flood their Spotify as more and more people took note of the band’s potential.
All this hard work has paved the way for a turning point for the band, which has taken form in their latest single, “OK.” Spoiler alert: the song is much more than just okay.
It sports all the signature Wallows touches — catchy, calming vocal hooks by lead singer Dylan Minnette, new wave reminiscent guitar riffs by lead guitarist Braeden Lemasters, and highly effective, groovy drum parts by drummer Cole Preston.
The flare that this song brings doesn’t stop there, though. It’s crystal clear that every member of the band has been working tirelessly at their craft.
Countless fans will tell you the same — Wallows is brilliant in that they pull all the stops on every song, while still keeping a low-key, danceable vibe flowing throughout.
The single ends with a hopeful plea that’s increasingly relatable in the often depressing times we live in — “Can we get up and try to feel okay again?”
