The Wallflowers is an American rock solo project of American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jakob Dylan. The Wallflowers were originally a roots rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1989 by Dylan and guitarist Tobi Miller. The band has undergone a number of personnel changes, but has remained centered on Dylan.
The band signed with Virgin Records to release their debut studio album, which, despite critical praise, failed to chart and served as their only release with the label. Following the regional success of their 1996 single "6th Avenue Heartache," the band signed with Interscope Records to release their second album, Bringing Down the Horse, which spawned their signature song, "One Headlight." Their third album, yielded the single "Sleepwalker," which became their only song to enter the Billboard Hot 100. The group released two further albums-Red Letter Days and Rebel, Sweetheart -before going on hiatus. Their sixth and seventh albums, Glad All Over and Exit Wounds, followed thereafter and were met with continued praise. Lyrically, the band focuses on Dylan's introspection, exploring themes of nostalgia, heartache, purpose and insecurities.
