Vinyl LP pressing. Formed in 2020 in the depths of the pandemic, quarantined siblings Austin and Taryn Durry joined forces to make music together for the very first time. In 2021, their careers were launched when a snippet of one of their demos went viral on Tik Tok- eventually racking up millions of streams in it's finished version and endearing the duo to a legion of dedicated fans known as the Losers Club. "Who's Laughing Now went viral before it was even finished being written," recalls Austin. What started as a cynical outlook on life was flipped on it's head overnight, as it rocketed to popularity. The next morning I left for the studio to try and capture this once in a lifetime viral moment. I realized the song I had written was wrong, and there was still hope left in the world. On the drive to the studio I rewrote it, inspired by the success and excitement of the public. This song is literally written about the success of it's own demo." Quickly gaining notoriety on social media and beyond, Durry is poised and ready to take on the music scene with their unique brand of nostalgic indie rock. Their debut album Suburban Legend is an exploration into the siblings' shared experiences growing up together in the suburbs of Minneapolis, weaving through the parallels of being a rambunctious teen longing to escape the suburban culture desert of identical beige houses and being an adult trapped in the mundane world of the 9-5, longing to escape the gray cubicles to pursue your passions. "The 'Suburban Legend' is the one that gets out, breaks the cycle, and makes something more of their life," says Durry. "That's exactly what we're trying to do with this record."
