Shortly after the season aired, Dylan announced his band "Wallows" and their first single, titled "Pleaser".

Lemasters describes their repertoire from their first single, until the last song on Nothing Happens, represents a chapter of their lives and how they are looking forward to exploring new ways of expression with upcoming music.

[10] In April 2019, Wallows performed at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California for their very first time.

Due to the pandemic shutting down their tour, they continued to find ways to promote their band and give fans what they wanted.

[11] These performances were filmed at the Roxy Theatre (West Hollywood) to give fans a feeling of normalcy during uncertain times.

Gisselle Pernett, writing for Rock Cellar Magazine, found the album a mixture of dance-worthy and nostalgic songs.
