Sometimes being less aware of the world around you feels kinda nice,” says Austin Durry on the lyrics of the new single. “Sometimes the big picture can freak you out and it’s good to take a step back. “If ignorance is bliss, then I wish I could get a little More Dumb.”
“More Dumb” follows “IDK I Just Work Here” – Durry’s minimum wage anthem—an ode to soul-crushing jobs and the all-too-relatable shrug of “I don’t know, I just work here.” The music video for the song has gained strong traction sitting at almost half a million views.
Durry’s music taps into the existential anxieties of modern life with a sharp wit and a heavy dose of self-awareness. Their songs confront the grind of dead-end jobs, the disillusionment of adulthood, and the emotional whiplash of living in a post-2020 world—where everything feels a little too loud, too fast, and too broken. But rather than wallow, the band leans into these themes with humor and heart, offering catharsis through catchy hooks and tongue-in-cheek commentary.
This Movie Sucks’ will be released on June 27. 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.
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.

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.”
