Young Rising Sons  

American Indie Pop Band, Best Known for Single "High"

Young Rising Sons is an American indie pop band consisting of Andy Tongren (lead singer/guitar), Julian Dimagiba (bass), and Steve Patrick (drums) formed in 2010 with their friend, former lead guitarist Dylan Scott. The band's musical influences range anywhere from Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and Rancid to Queen and The Four Tops.

Scott, Dimagiba, and Patrick grew up playing music together in Red Bank, NJ. After watching Andy Tongren perform an acoustic set at a New York City bar, the other members approached him about taking lead vocals in their newly formed band.

In 2013 through mutual friends of Andy Tongren, Young Rising Sons were introduced to New York producers Shep Goodman and Aaron Accetta who immediately signed Young Risings Sons to a production deal with their label Dirty Canvas Music. The band released their debut single "High" on July 22, 2014 with Dirty Canvas Music. The video for “High” premiered on Mostly Junk Food and Buzznet. The response was explosive and the song quickly went viral hitting #1 on Hypem Twitter and landing on the main music page on YouTube. With the well received buzz, “High” instantly caught the attention of tastemakers across the globe including BBC Radio 1 DJ, Zane Lowe, who dubbed “High” his “Next Hype” track. “High” was also featured in the NHL Awards, MLB Network, Carson Daly, the NBC Summer Image Campaign in 2014, Fox’s hit television show Red Band Society, and ABC’s Selfie in 2014.

The band signed with Interscope Records in 2014. With this, Young Rising Sons released a self-titled four track EP through Dirty Canvas/Interscope Records.

Young Rising Sons has toured the US with artists such as The Griswolds, Miniature Tigers, Little Daylight, Weezer, Bleachers, and Kongos. They played their first show in London on October 14, 2014 supporting The Neighbourhood.

Currently, the band is completing their full length debut LP due in 2016, and they will be heading out on a full US tour supporting The 1975 in November.
