One of the originators of the "Mpls. Sound"   – The Suburbs mix of punk, dance music, poetry and humor on releases for Polygram and A&M Records in the 1980's was ahead of its time. The 21st Century has seen release of 3 new albums of equal if not superior merit.

The Suburbs were voted among the "100 Most Influential Minnesota Musical Entities of the Twentieth Century" by The Minneapolis Star Tribune.

​Chan Poling was voted #6 in Rake Magazine's "Favorite Minnesota Rockers" poll (alongside Prince, Bob Dylan, and Paul Westerberg), and the Minnesota Music Awards honored Chan Poling with their POP (Perpetually Outstanding Performer) Award.

"The 'Burbs" continue to play select shows to enthusiastic fans with their current line up of original members Chan Poling, Hugo Klaers and Max Ray alongside a super-group of new members, Stevie Brantseg, Jeremy Ylvysaker, Steve Price, Janey Winterbauer, Rochelle Becker and Stephen Kung.
