Durry
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, due out September 8, 2023.
Durry's live show, which is as infectious as their music, has won the hearts and minds of fans in real life, and they'll be taking their new album on the road, with US tour dates kicking off in November for the Suburban Legend Tour.
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.
Keep for Cheap
Keep for Cheap’s special blend of indie, country, rock, and pop has a little something for everyone. Playing what they call “prairie-rock,” the Minnesota five-piece’s playful sound will make you feel like a kid, then break your heart with its next turn of phrase. With the release of their sophomore album, Big Grass, the band strives to make music that moves, with driving instrumentals and poignant nostalgia-stirring lyrics. Drawing at times from their own love story, fronting members Kate and Autumn write music to make you pine over queer love and passing youth, seek inspiration in the natural world and connection wherever it can be made.
