Dylan Minnette

Most would be content fronting a band that cracked the Hot 100 and played Coachella, but Dylan Minnette is clearly restless. His decade-plus with Wallows, alongside Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston, perfected a strain of sun-drenched indie rock that landed them a major label deal and a hit with Clairo. But his solo work dismantles that machine. The 2024 single "TWNG" feels like a necessary reset—a raw, four-track confession trading Atlantic Records polish for the hiss of a cheap microphone. It’s the sound of an artist stepping away from the main stage to find a quieter, more truthful room.
