A Lot Like Birds - Myth of Lasting Sympathy

According to Balance and Composure, they can be loud, quiet and everything in between. A pretty apt description in a nutshell. Once you get down to an intricate school of thought, the lyricism of singer/guitarists Jonathan Simmons and Andrew Slaymaker show things in a different light. Having all met in the Philadelphia suburb of Doylestown, PA through mutual projects during their high school years, Balance and Composure decided to start what they called a "real band" once former projects dissolved. Once completing the formation of the band, Balance and Composure hit the ground running and have yet to look back. 

A sonic assault melding influences such as Sunny Day Real Estate, Neutral Milk Hotel and Nirvana, their upcoming full length "Separation" adheres to the band's namesake. A cohesive listen of anthemic and melodic guitar blitzes with poignant lyricism, rhythmic thrusts and an abrasive pop knack in its overall deliverance, "Separation" churns in a fortified enclave of gutiar fuzz and impending rhythms that drive heavily. Balance and Composure may wear their love for early 90's underground alt rock on their sleeves, but they are in no way merely a "throwback" band as much as they are an outfit who respects their influences, and pushes them forward into brash sonic terrortory with the us vs. the world ethos of geniune punk rock. 

After self releasing their first EP “I Just Want To Be Pure” in 2008, followed by their "Only Boundaries" EP and split EP with Tigers Jaw both on No Sleep Records, Balance and Composure are now on the verge of releasing their debut full length "Separation" out May 10th, 2011 on No Sleep Records.

Tides of Man - Create Couldn't Keep Up

Shrinking in the wall

[Verse 1]
Raised from the alleys, fire in my chest
Armor is heavy, I’ll carry the rest
Scarlet banners cut through the haze
Every strike burns, every vow I’ve raised

[Pre-Chorus]
Pressure rising, I won’t fall
Hear the battle, hear the call

[Chorus]
Iron in the gauntlet, nothing left to lose
Every scar reminds me what I choose
Iron in the gauntlet, I’ll never break
Hit the line, feel the ground shake

[Verse 2]
Stone in the streets, steel in my hand
Oath in my blood, I’ll defend this land
Silence hides, but the fury is real
When the clash comes, only iron will heal

[Pre-Chorus]
Pressure rising, I won’t fall
Hear the battle, hear the call

[Chorus]
Iron in the gauntlet, nothing left to lose
Every scar reminds me what I choose
Iron in the gauntlet, I’ll never break
Hit the line, feel the ground shake

[Bridge]
Raise the gates, let the fury ignite
No retreat, I was born for the fight

[Instrumental Solo]

[Chorus]
Iron in the gauntlet, nothing left to lose
Every scar reminds me what I choose
Iron in the gauntlet, I’ll never break
Hit the line, feel the ground shake

[Outro]
Iron in the gauntlet, iron in the gauntlet
Iron in the gauntlet—hear the ground shake

Lyrics: 

Take the coast, 101.
It’s longer but there’s sun and water to make me feel like I’m getting better
And fill the void that’s on fire.

Oh my god so in deep with this!
My only friend is a shit plant,
Can’t wait to spark it on the front lawn of her new boys house.
Ha, I can’t stop this laughter.

Knees lock to the steering wheel.
Fingers twist paper, lick and seal.
One last match, so I strike.
Text an ex, “Can we meet up tonight?”

Oh my god so in deep with this!
My only friend is a shit plant,
Can’t wait to spark it on the front lawn of her new boys house.
I can’t stop this - Ha Ha Ha!

Why can’t you see what life’s about?
Took twenty years to figure out.
I’m not the type to explain myself.
Still we both know, you were nothing special…
Just another page in my burn book.
Oh, I keep telling myself you were nothing special.
(Well that’s a lie)
You said goodbye and my earth shook.
Oh, but there’s so many things, there’s so many things
I should have said…
But I never said it.
