Durry’s powerful anthem, “Who’s Laughing Now,” initially made waves as a demo on social media in 2021, quickly capturing the attention and admiration of listeners. The duo wasted no time refining the song, releasing it, and even shooting a music video in their parents’ garage within a week.
The formation of Durry, comprised of Taryn and Austin, was a serendipitous occurrence. During the COVID pandemic, Austin and his wife found themselves back at his parents’ home, coincidentally where Taryn was also staying at the time. With ample time on their hands, Austin resumed his songwriting and sought Taryn’s feedback, jokingly referring to her as the “quality control” for their Gen Z perspective.
The incomplete version of “Who’s Laughing Now” uploaded to TikTok sparked a wildfire of popularity, resonating with countless viewers who could relate to the struggles of growing up. This led Durry to recognize the larger narrative they wanted to convey on their upcoming album, Suburban Legend. The record serves as a grand tale of triumph over obstacles, breaking free from the confines of suburbia, and pursuing artistic freedom.
Durry fearlessly tackles subjects such as mental health, toxic masculinity, and contemporary capitalism with a wry self-awareness and genuine empathy. Drawing from their own experiences growing up in the Minneapolis suburbs, Durry authentically communicates their anxieties, dreams, and challenges, creating an album that feels both strikingly current and nostalgically poignant.
“Who’s Laughing Now” encapsulates the struggles faced by siblings Austin and Taryn Durry as they navigate the stifling expectations of adulthood, evoking memories of their collaboration in their parents’ basement and the looming sense of a quarter-life crisis.
The song serves as an empowering anthem for those who yearn to break free from the monotony of everyday life, daring to pursue their aspirations beyond the confines of suburbia and traditional 9-to-5 jobs.
Experience the captivating energy of Durry’s latest release, “Who’s Laughing Now,” and join them on their journey of self-discovery and artistic liberation.
