Young Rising Sons is an alternative band hailing from New Jersey.

The four men joined forces, pulling their musical influence from Queen, Rancid and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, and created a unique sound that perfectly captures the personality of their band. Their debut single, “High,” is the perfect song for a hyped Thursday night.
