New Jersey's Young Rising Sons fuse savvy contemporary pop with a buoyant rock and electronic vibe. They created a buzz with their 2014 single "High," followed by a series of well-received EPs, including 2015's The Kids Will Be Fine and 2016's Undefeatable +2. In 2022, they released their full-length debut, Still Point in a Turning World.

Young Rising Sons formed in 2010 in Red Bank, New Jersey. Guitarist Dylan Scott, bassist Julian Dimagiba, and drummer Steve Patrick, who had played together in various bands since high school, caught an acoustic set by Ohio-born singer, songwriter, and guitarist Andy Tongren in a New York City bar. Realizing that this was the voice they needed in their band, Scott, Dimagiba, and Patrick asked Tongren to join. The chemistry in the new quartet was immediate; influenced by classic pop acts like the Beatles and the Temptations, and by the melodic hard rock of Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Green Day, and others, Young Rising Sons developed a bright, modern hard pop sound with electronic accents and uplifting lyrics.
