Indie rock band, Durry, have officially released their new album ‘This Movie Sucks’ out now via Thirty Tigers as well as a brand-new music video for ‘Bully’ which was premiered via YouTube alongside a live chat with the band.
The band previously released the singles and music videos for ‘This Movie Sucks’, ‘IDK I Just Work Here’ and ‘More Dumb’.
‘This Movie Sucks’ sounds exactly like what it feels like to come of age in a post-2020 world: a little too loud, too fast, and too broken—yet still worth showing up for. The band taps into the existential anxieties of modern life with a sharp wit and heavy dose of self-awareness, confronting the grind of dead-end jobs, the disillusionment of adulthood, and the emotional whiplash of everyday survival. But instead of sinking into despair, Durry leans into these themes with humor and heart, crafting songs that feel like a group scream and a group hug all at once. It’s catharsis you can shout along to—fueled by sticky hooks, punchy riffs, and tongue-in-cheek commentary that turns everyday dread into something worth dancing to.
Durry also recently announced a headline tour that will kick off in the fall. The tour will span twenty-four cities and kick off in the band’s hometown of Minneapolis, MN on September 12th at First Ave. At the end of this month, they will be heading to overseas for special acoustic performances at Rough Trade in Berlin and The Lower Third in London. A full list of upcoming dates can be found below.
‘This Movie Sucks’, produced by Phil Odom (Code Orange, Turnover, Say Anything), 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.
“Honestly the process of making this record has been a dream come true for us,” says Austin Durry. “We’ve always recorded in basements, and home studios whenever we could find time and finances to make it happen. But for this record we were finally able to get into a big studio with a completed body of work and just bang out a whole album. It felt so good, and I think that really shines through these songs.”
