Brother-sister indie rock band, Durry, have released “Dead Media” now available on all digital platforms. It comes as the band kicked off their run of headline dates in support of their new album ‘This Movie Sucks’ out now. “Dead Media” is a secret track that was found only on the physical version of the album. It’s now available all on digital platforms with a new music video that can be seen here.
“’Dead Media’ is a catchy pop tune about the perils of social media addiction and how we’ve replaced the artistry of pop culture with content and short form videos,” says Austin Durry on the lyrics of the song. “It talks about the duality of being addicted to social media, but also social media is a huge part of what made this band successful.”
Produced by Phil Odom (Code Orange, Turnover, Say Anything), ‘This Movie Sucks’ has a bit of everything for everyone. The sound is wildly diverse, taking Durry’s established sound and stretching it further than ever before. With strong punk rock sensibilities in songs like “Bully” and “Start a Band” alongside the folksy sounds of “The Long Goodbye” and “Slug Bug”, the album is a wild ride from start to finish – tailor made for those reliving the energetic angst of the rock scene in the early aughts. Lyrically, ‘This Movie Sucks’ touches on universal themes such as prolonged grief, the toxic nature of Internet culture and remembering loved ones.
The band previously released the singles and music videos for “This Movie Sucks”, “IDK I Just Work Here”, “More Dumb” and “Bully”.

Composed of Austin and Taryn Durry, the band is known for their wry, tongue in cheek lyrics about the futility of adulthood and the world at large. Their song “Who’s Laughing Now” took off on Tiktok, amassing six million streams with listeners resonating with coming of age frustrations. It helped songs from their debut album ‘Suburban Legend’ see mentions with publications like Rolling Stone and Ones To Watch and debut at number four on the Alternative New Artist Chart.
More than just a band, Durry is a full-blown DIY operation—born in a parents’ basement during the pandemic, they’ve built their vision entirely on grit, humor, and bound‑up creativity. From viral TikTok triumphs to planning their own Papa Durry’s pizza pop‑ups and even dreaming up an N64 cartridge game, they’re actively reshaping what independent artistry looks like.

Durry may have started out as an internet sensation championed by unlikely advocates like Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst, but after spending the past few years touring the country and honing their craft, they want to show the world that they are a seasoned act, remaining involved in every aspect of their career—from the merch to the songs to the videos. “We’ve been able to have more resources with this album and get help when we need it but we’re still trying to maintain the whole DIY nature of the band while also keeping the quality as high as we can,” Austin explains. “Our hands are in every part of this band and meeting our own quality standards are really important to us,” he adds. “We have a super unified vision and feel like everything goes together—and that’s why things can take so long, but that’s so important to us.”
