Balance and Composure was an American alternative rock band from Doylestown, Pennsylvania, formed in 2007. Their sound, a blend of post-hardcore, emo, and indie rock, resonated with fans seeking depth and complexity in music. The band's journey began with their formation, eventually leading to their critically acclaimed releases. Notably, their work includes a series of evocatively titled albums and EPs such as "Separation," "The Things We Think We're Missing," and "Light We Made," which showcase their evolution in sound and lyrical maturity. Their ability to oscillate between aggressive intensity and ambient serenity marked them as a standout act within their genre.

Throughout their career, Balance and Composure released music that spoke to the experiences of disillusionment, personal growth, and the search for identity, themes that deeply connected with their audience. Their split releases, like the one with Tigers Jaw, not only demonstrated their versatility and ability to collaborate but also cemented their position in the indie and emo scenes. Despite announcing their breakup in 2019, Balance and Composure left behind a legacy of pushing boundaries in alternative music. Their final album, "Light We Made," served as a testament to their growth, featuring a more polished, electronic-laden sound that still retained the emotional rawness they were known for. The band's journey is a reflection of their name—a quest for equilibrium amidst the chaos of life and the music industry.
