Biography

Since self-releasing their debut EP Where It Fell Apart in late 2017, London’s Wallflower have toured extensively across the UK with a huge variety of bands including Boston Manor, Knuckle Puck, Milk Teeth and Employed to Serve. Their emotive songwriting style melds heavy hooks and heart-crushing melodies within an other-worldly atmosphere that lends itself to all manner of live music experiences and platforms. It’s a sound that has seen Wallflower achieve BBC Radio 1 play and slots at lauded festivals such as Download, 2000 Trees and The Great Escape. Wallflower is a band set on ideals of constant evolution and growth. Their craft is ever-changing and this flow of creativity has led them to the impending release of their debut album in 2020. The band draws upon more retro alternative influences, as well as having studied the art of the album through modern classics from Paramore’s ‘Brand New Eyes’ to Radiohead’s ‘In Rainbows’. The art of the LP is one that’s extremely important to the members of Wallflower and meant that they approached their own debut full length with great care and attention to craft something extremely exciting, personal and true. Aptly titled 'Teach Yourself To Swim', the record is a collection of songs that undulates between more familiar tropes and unexpected twists and turns. Having already touched on themes of existentialism, ageing and purpose within their music, they’ve delved deeper than ever before.
