Siblings Austin and Taryn Durry began making music together in Burnsville, Minnesota during the pandemic. By the time 2021 rolled around, the duo's career had taken off thanks in large part to their song "Who's Laughing Now" going viral on the platform TikTok. Durry's music harkens back to indie's second wave in the mid- to late-2000s when the sound expanded from garage rock revivalists to incorporate the heartfelt rhythms of folk.
