Jersey Rock Band of the Week: Painted Young
“I’m Not Gonna Wait” EP Out Now!
Painted Young is an evolving force on the Jersey Rock scene. Formed in 2013 as a cover band, the Matawan-based group quickly transitioned into an original Pop Punk act. That sound was prevlant on their debut EP “Looking Forward To Never Looking Back.” For their follow-up effort “I’m Not Gonna Wait,” Painted Young’s music morphed into more of a straight up Pop Rock sound. The band is currently working on new material and has stated that they are not yet through with their audio evolution.
Check out both of Painted Young’s EPs now on spotify!
Painted Young has turned in killer performances at venues across NJ including The Brighton Bar, The Stone Pony, and The Starland Ballroom. We were looking forward to their appearance at the Jersey Rock Showcase Finale at River Rock in Brick, however we had to cancel the show in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Even withouth live in-person shows, Painted Young has continued to bring their brand of Rock to their fanbase. The band recently completed a week of live streams on their facebook fan page. Keep an eye out for more performances at facebook.com/paintedyoung.
Tune to Jersey Rock on 95.9 The Rat Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30 pm to hear the latest tracks from Painted Young! Bailey will call in to the show each night!
