As teenagers in 2011, Braeden Lemasters , Cole Preston , and Dylan Minnette formed the band at a music studio called Join the Band in Van Nuys with Zack Mendenhall . They were students enrolled in the GigMasterz program at Keyboard Galleria Music Center in Southern California. They chose to name themselves The Feaver and played the 2011 Warped Tour. They also used the name The Narwhals before settling on Wallows in 2017, now without Mendenhall. Prior to becoming Wallows, the only official collection of songs released by the band consisted of a 4-song EP called "The Narwhals" in October 2014.
In April 2017, the band released their first single under the Wallows moniker, "Pleaser". The song would eventually reach number two on the Spotify Global Viral 50 chart and number one on the KROQ Locals Only playlist. In May 2017, Wallows released a second single, "Sun Tan", and began playing live shows in the Los Angeles area, selling out The Roxy and the Troubadour. Their third single, "Uncomfortable", was released in September 2017.
In November 2017, their song "Pulling Leaves off Trees" premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show. That month, the band also announced their first headlining North American tour that would run from January to March 2018. The tour started in San Francisco on January 24. In February 2018, the band announced that they had signed to Atlantic Records and were planning to release their major label debut EP, Spring, in April 2018. They also released a new single, "Pictures of Girls", their first on Atlantic. The song was chosen as a "Critical Cut" by SiriusXM Alt Nation.
Wallows ended their North American tour at South by Southwest in March 2018. Later in the month, they released a second track from Spring titled "These Days". The EP was released on April 6, 2018, by Atlantic Records and was produced by John Congleton.
