Brooklyn-based rock band Highly Suspect is gearing up to release its debut album this summer, but if you’ve attended Lollapalooza or SXSW in the past year, you may have already heard about them. The trio is led by Johnny Stevens and features twin brothers Rich and Ryan Meyer on the bass and drums, respectively. This week, they release “Lydia,” a track inspired by Stevens’ lost love. Here’s what the rockers, who have been compared to the Kings of Leon, are jamming to right now.
