#Live: Young Rising Sons live at the Loving Touch
A year in the making, we finally had the chance to check out the Young Rising Sons. It had been about six years since Michigan last saw them (ten for ). The night was up in the air, and we stayed until it was time to go. Openers Nathan Gonzales and Lemondrop made an impression on the intimate crowd.
Then, it was time for Young Rising Sons to take the stage. They started the night off with “Take Me Out of the Ball Game” and “Sunday Sunshine” before jumping into their latest album, “Still Point In A Turning World”. Of course, they did play crowd favorites like “High” and “King of the Wor.” One thing we did wish they did was play their newest song, “(Un)Happy Hour,” in the middle of the set, but we did get treated with a new song yet to be released (Andy mentioned that this would happen in our interview).

More About Young Rising Sons
With Spring officially in full swing, summer feels right around the corner and Brooklyn’s Young Rising Sons are bringing the warmer weather vibes with their latest indie rock anthem “(Un)Happy Hour”. The latest track from the quartet is fun, quirky and feels like an instant classic. Self-described as unapologetically honest and paired with lyrics that include “perfectly broken, at least in the moment”, despite its name “(Un)Happy Hour” will in fact make you very happy, making it nearly impossible not to smile and dance a bit while listening.
Listen to “(Un)Happy Hour” HERE!
On the latest single, Young Rising Sons’ Andy Tongren vocalist shares “Everything in life comes down to timing, & each wrinkle in time leaves its unique mark on the trajectory of our existence. ‘(Un)Happy Hour’ is about embracing the timing of life’s unpredictable and trying moments juxtaposed with finding solace and connection amidst the adversity. Even in the chaos when we veer off course and find ourselves in our own personal “(Un)Happy Hour,” there’s still room for resilience and growth, offering us the opportunity to to emerge stronger on the other side.”
It had been a year since we last spoke to the guys of Young Rising Sons and they are already for their first heading tour. So we had to chat with Andy Tongren (Frontman of the group) about what's been new, (UN)happy hour, and of course the tour!
Over the course of their career, Young Rising Sons has over 400k monthly Spotify listeners and accumulated well over 100 million streams, including major hits to fans favorites “SAD (Clap Your Hands)”, “King of the World”, “Carry On”, and “In My Room”.
