Suburban Legend is an exploration into the lives of siblings, Austin and Taryn, and their shared experiences growing up together in the suburbs of Minneapolis. Exploring 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 grey cubicles to pursue your passions. The “Suburban Legend” is the one that gets out, breaks the cycle, and makes something more of their life.

As a band, Taryn and Austin’s journey happened both unexpectedly and fortuitously. At the start of the COVID pandemic, Austin and his wife moved back into his parents’ house, where Taryn was also living at the time. Faced with nothing but time, he got back to songwriting, regularly asking Taryn for input – or as the two playfully put it, “Gen Z quality control.”

The immediate result of their musical partnership was the pop-punk/alternative anthem ‘Who’s Laughing Now,’ which leads with wry, tongue-in-cheek lyrics about the futility of young adulthood in 2023. After posting an unfinished version of ‘Who’s Laughing Now’ on TikTok, it swiftly took off, galvanizing thousands of viewers who shared their coming-of-age frustrations. Clearly, the song’s sentiments – which land somewhere between a shrug and a clenched fist – resonated with millions of listeners, and today Durry have recorded a fully fleshed-out version of ‘Who’s Laughing Now,’ which is set to appear on their riveting, perfectly sardonic debut LP, Suburban Legend.

Whether Suburban Legend is tackling romantic love, late-stage capitalism, mental health woes, or teen nostalgia, the thread tying it all together is its utter relatability. Regardless of where you are in life – city or suburbs, school or work, or pursuing a creative dream of your own – Durry will meet you there with a wink and a high five.

The sound harkens back to 2000’s alternative indie-rock and beyond, with inspirations like Weezer, The Killers, and the Cure. Packed with explosive high energy songs, and hooks that will reach out and grab you. The lyrics are intellectual, sprinkled with humor, and always telling a story.
