DWLLRS began in a dorm room during late-night video game sessions, Canes sauce, and deep existential talks, uniting two small-town California boys with a shared habit of overthinking. Bren, once a thespian with a shaved head, and Joey, a musical wizard with a voice like an angel, joined forces to channel their thoughts into music. Over time, those early dreams evolved, and though late nights and Texas Toast are less frequent, their music remains, capturing the hidden beauty in life’s highs and lows. Today, DWLLRS is making waves as Island Records’ latest addition, transforming life’s process into lush alternative pop.
