The Suburbs were one of the hottest bands in the Twin Cities at the beginning of the 1980s, with an original sound that was hard to categorize. Best known for their early hits "Music for Boys" and "Love is the Law" as well as quirky fan favorites like "Cows", they were mainstays of clubs like the Longhorn and First Avenue. Their obvious talents in writing and performance won them two record deals, national tv exposure, and openings for the B-52s, leaving them just on the cusp; one of those bands that should have been superstars, but for some reason weren't. The band (with some changes) has remained sporadically active to the present, even releasing a new album in 2013.
