So fucking brutal. Yet, it make me want to go to church.

no more of this. balance and composure doesn't deserve to have their thread taken over by august burns red.

[viva la cymche!]

no more of this. balance and composure doesn't deserve to have their thread taken over by august burns red. But they're so hardcore. Christxcore.

[wewascontenders]

how were they the other night?

great, they only played like 4 songs though. two of them were new songs without names, both sounded really good. jon said they'd be going into record them and more songs sometime in the spring.

[mysensesfailed3]

great band

i think thats what they did at the sellersville barn show too. i know they played chapter 20 and waiting, thinking, giving up but i only listened to their ep once before their show so those are the only two i recognized. i do remember they had a short set though. probably those two and the two new ones.

[|adr3naLine|]

Surprisingly very good.

Where can I download it? I can't find it anywhere.

[Jumpoff]

Seeing them with the Menzingers next month I think

[mike sheets]

they're not a bad band.

every time i've seen them, they got overshadowed by the bands they played with and a lot of people didn't go in to watch their set

[wewascontenders]

your inbox. check it.

they're not a bad band.

every time i've seen them, they got overshadowed by the bands they played with and a lot of people didn't go in to watch their set

everytime i see them, they play last and all the other bands take up all the time, so they only have time for like 4 songs.

[|adr3naLine|]

your inbox. check it.
Thanks homie.

[kevinrocks409]

they are a great band. seen them live twice. really good stuff.

[wewascontenders]

new song is tight.

[Heart-A-Tact]

Loving the new track.

[tfar06]

real good band. i enjoy the ep a lot

[wewascontenders]

b&c, tigers jaw, best intentions, and kite party tomorrow night.

I've tasted Jon's cock. It's delish.

But yeah Balance is pretty damn good.

[Truman122]

I can't wait for Only Boundaries to come out. Show Your Face is definatley a departure from I Just Want To Be Pure, but it still captures that same feeling and is still a great song. Oh my im getting wet just thinking about it.

[HammersNStrings]

It's too bad this thread is full of ABR and creepy posts that have nothing to do with the music, because Balance and Composure are amazing. Sometimes I look at Bailey's last.fm to see what they're working on. I don't think I've done that for any other band. Favorite song is "Alone for Now" but I can't wait to hear the new stuff. Would like to see them live sometime soon.

I saw them live once. They were great. Jon put a lot of energy into his singing. I got wet.

PS: If I were to ever get shot into space, I'd want the song "I Just Want To Be Pure" to be playing.

You know, that would be the perfect situation for that song to be used, haha. I'm glad someone else has these kinds of thoughts!

[wewascontenders]

acoustic show at the moose next friday. apparently jamie from title fight/bad seed is playing too, but bad seed has a show in like kentucky that day so idk whats up with that.

[wewascontenders]

only boundaries got pushed back to august 11th, lamee. new songs sound real nice though.

Dude...thank you so much. Sounds great.

PS: In the first video, go to about 1:18. Jon has a voice crack.

[wewascontenders]

yeah, that happened alot, it always does. i like it though, feel like it adds something to the show haha.

[Truman122]

Yeah good point. But I mean other than for that second, Jon's voice is always amazing. Haha he's definitely improved a little since TEK.

[wewascontenders]

no doubt there, i wish there was a video of the oh comely cover too, it was amazing.

[wewascontenders]

also just found two more, hopefully the whole set will be up soon.

I think you might be out of luck man. I mean there's a possibility that they might have some kinda bundle package when Only Boundaries comes out, but I wouldn't hold your breathe if I were you.

Just pre-ordered Only Boundaries. So stoked for it to come out.

[FullCollaspe]

They're signed to NO SLEEP right?

It was such a sick show dude. I loved Finished With a Door Slam full band. Were you able to catch that one?

[wewascontenders]

yeah, the whole fucking show was great. not so much that field. fucking bugs were annoying.

[Jumpoff]

Couldn't get to see them tonight. Was probably an awesmoe show haha wanted to see B&C and Tigers Jaw..

[Truman122]

Yeah Tigers Jaw was supposed to play at their release, but they dropped out for some reason. I Am Alaska filled in. Great show either way.

[wewascontenders]

saw the new record in hot topic, asked the guy working if he knew them, he did not. didn't surprise me but i did like that they were selling it.

[Truman122]

"we’ve been demoing new songs for the past couple weeks. things are going really well. start the actual recordings in 12 days. we’ll post a video soon."

This was posted on Balance's tumblr about three weeks ago. Anyone know how that's going?

Holy shit. I posted that! I also reviewed the Only Boundaries EP, to which they dedicated an entire MySpace blog to. I am literally overflowing with WIN.


EDIT: No wait, thought you posted the news item. Read that wrong dawg. My bad.
Do you all agree/disagree with my review?


P.S. I love this band. Like literally. Over 700 Last.Fm plays. The more Last.Fm plays, the bigger your penis.

Being that Balance is one of my favorite bands, I'd gotta say I agree. Though I do find that IJWTBP has more of a lasting affect on me, Only Boundaries is an amazing EP, definitely my favorite of the year.

PS. I listen to their stuff on iTunes, so does the penis thing still apply?

You like Balance and Composure, I'd say you'd have a huge penis tbh.

[forget_december]

i downloaded their i just want to be pure EP last week, and i'm completely in love with it. "weak man, weak boy" is so incredible.

[ThisIsNotDan]

yeah the I Just Want To Be Pure EP rules. took me too long to finally give it a good listen

[yoyostring]

a full length from these guys would be fucking grrreat.

[Sensez Fail]

Really digging it. Gotta go and download some stuff

[yoyostring]

gosh, i love Only Boundaries.

anybody know if their releasing a full length next year?

[swift4u0076]

I cant do this alone is tough. Pissed I never saw a full set from them..saw like half a song once and missed them completely another time.

[3mpire]

My favourite EP of last year (even though I technically only started listening this year.

Show Your Face is incredible.

[tottivillarossi]

Their singer Jon informed me that their Tigers Jaw split with be out around april/may time.

Split with Tigers Jaw has leaked. SO HAPPY.

[tehdangerdave]

got my digi download tonight. holy fuck is their side incredible. tigers jaw's side fucking rules, too. so good.

[Genuma]

band rules so much more than pretty much anything else on no sleep.

[tehdangerdave]

Twenty Four = :inlove:

[Genuma]

haha agreed, best song on the split.

[Starbursting]

These guys are from around here somewhere.

[forget_december]

got my shipping confirmation email for the split LP last night. sooo excited!

[Genuma]

any idea what the full pressing info was on that? was it just the brown and black?

[forget_december]

there were 200 green, 300 brown, and 500 black. the green LPs sold out so fast!

[Genuma]

damn, i guess so. i got a brown. green would have looked pretty sweet with the cover.

[tehdangerdave]

Yeah, I never got the option for green either. Oh well, I'm just glad to own it and I can't wait to spin it when i get home this weekend.

[DriftingNAndOut]

Great release. This band seems to be progressing nicely. Pure is still my favorite release though. Can't beat "Alone for now".

[yayitsjoe]

These guys are from around here somewhere.

doylestown.

[Starbursting]

doylestown.

Yeah, that's it.

[tehdangerdave]

seriously can't get enough of their side of the split. such a great release.

[evvandflow]

band rules.

[Basara]

Great stuff. I have a feeling I'll be listening to this split a lot, I'll probably end up buying it.
I also feel I should mention how awesome I Can't Do This Alone is.

[XSTAYGOLDX]

Easily became my favorite band on 2009 and their half of the tiger's jaw split is definently in my top 5 releases of the year so far.

[tottivillarossi]

"As Planned", the digital only track, is a full band version of "Finished With A Door Slam".

Awesome flyer.

These guys are totally under-appreciated everywhere that isn't Philly. I just saw them in New York and only like 3 people were into it.

[alexa_ATL]

Just saw them the other night on the Out with the In Crowd tour... blew me away. I went for Senses Fail and Bayside, but B&C have been the band i've been listening to every day since. Awesome stuff

[apast9085]

i wasnt really that big of a fan but there growing on me they just need to put out a full album instead eps

[swift4u0076]

These guys have only gotten better live. See them if you can.

[ThisIsNotDan]

need an album please thanks

[DejaGuy89]

[love_american_style]

these guys are playing tonight. wish I could go.

In what way? They are nothing like la dispute.

I just got into La Dispute recently also. They don't sound very similar imo.

Thanks to the Out With The In Crowd tour for introducing me to this band. They are even more amazing live than on cd. I don't understand the Brand New comparison but I can see the similarity to Andy Hull and Anthony Raneri

[buddysystem]

FFO: Cross My Heart, Northstar, Makeout Party, Person L, etc.

[yayitsjoe]

just saw the lead singer (and i think a couple of other guys) in siren records in doylestown. pretty cool stuff. they were just hanging out watching some local band. cool to see them supporting the doylestown scene.

I really like the softer songs on I Just Want To Be Pure like "Waiting, Thinking, Giving Up". I read that since the EP was written with an old member they're probably not gonna be playing those songs anymore. bummer

Don't get too excited just yet, they're recording it with Brian McTernan - who absolutely rapes any music he mixes.

[thesollopsist]

Don't get too excited just yet, they're recording it with Brian McTernan - who absolutely rapes any music he mixes.
Really? Didn't he do Circa Survives first two albums? They were well mixed.

[tottivillarossi]

Really? Didn't he do Circa Survives first two albums? They were well mixed.
He might have. Tbf, the early albums he produced were fantastic, like the two Thrice albums etc, but recently he's been doing bands like We Are The Ocean, Flood of Red, Emarosa, Senses Fail, and, well, the production is horrid. The guitars are flat and subdued, the bass is non-existent and the drums sound like someone's hitting an empty plastic container with a spoon.

BaC are probably my favourite band along with Thrice and La Dispute, so I hope McTernan proves me to be a clueless twat - I don't care as long as the record sounds fantastic. I'm just not really expecting it.

[Hypocrite!]

Saw these guys at a Bayside/Senses Fail show, didn't even know who they were, ended up loving them though.

I trust BAC with making sure the album sounds good. I'm don't know much about producing, but I know in the past their EPs the drums in particular sound great. I feel like they'd make sure that everything turns out well.

[Is A Cult]

Absolutely amazing band. Soooo stoked for a full length.

I'm interested to hear if they've evolved their sound again. Every release so far has been different.

[takeiteasy_]

Am i tripping or were the pre-order digital downloads supposed to come out today?

Wait, really? I had no idea. I'll have to keep a lookout for that tomorrow.

[maxvsmaradona]

monday: simple math
tuesday: waves
wednesday: goblin
thursday? separation?

it just feels right

[DallasC]

anyone know what time tomorrow digital downloads will arrive?

Is it definitely tomorrow?

[SincerelyMe]

After listening through once, I like the second half of the album a lot more than the first half.

[Until The Bombs]

Got my digital download.

[Burn That Shit]

after my first listen, i feel kind of underwhelmed. last 3 tracks are great, everything else seems meh.

[NickIsI]

Just started my first listen. Excited.

[phaynes1]

Got my email from No Sleep! Gonna listen prolly tonight

[DallasC]

Really like Separation, Quake, Stonehands, I tore you apart, Progress progress, More to Me, and Echo

Great Record after a couple listens.

[phaynes1]

Phenomenal record. A lot longer than I expected.

[takeiteasy_]

After listening through once, I like the second half of the album a lot more than the first half.

I definitely agree with this. Patience is a really awesome song. I still have to listen to it a few more times though.

[drewinseries]

Stonehands is really good.

[maxvsmaradona]

still waiting for it to click with me... but the second half is preferred over the first

[wall e]

I think it's phenomenal all the way through

[dancelukedance]

is there a decent quality leak?

[maxvsmaradona]

Separation gets better with each listen

[wewascontenders]

new record is phenomenal. b&c blowing up in 5..4..3....

[yayitsjoe]

this.

[Burn That Shit]

still think their split with tigers jaw is their best stuff. a lot of these songs end up sounding the same and running together.

i thought that too. but i just keep listening to the new album, and it gets better and better

[ThisIsNotDan]

I didn't think any song could top "Twenty Four" or "Burden" for me, but I think I literally played "Galena" like 10 times in a row. fuck, such a jam

[iam_theculprit]

I'm glad to hear everyone is liking it. I got my digital download but I'm going to wait until my vinyl gets here to listen.

[maxvsmaradona]

Quake is such an awesome song. and the ending of Defeat The Low is so sad. i love it

[swift4u0076]

ugh this shit is so good. after you understand all the lyrics it gets much better

[zack-182]

Record is one of the best I've heard in a long, long time. Echo is out of this world.

[JJW319]

Reading lots of positive things about this band/record.


RIYL?

Really good jams

[Sheluligans]

The record isn't doing much for me so far. Hopefully it will click for me soon. Most of the songs seem to sound the same.

[JJW319]

Really good jams

sweet man. i like really good jams.

[SincerelyMe]

The more I listen to this, the more I like it.

It sounds so southern and dirty to me, definitely one of the better tracks. Album is a grower, I didn't like the production on it but I was able to get past it after a couple listens.

agreed, such a sick riff

Same here-- going to listen to it a few more times this week

[evvandflow]

very rad

[CannonBall!]

This cd is really impressive. Does anyone else feel like most songs run too long though?

[Explode]

Stumbled across "Separation" while listening to Farewell Continental's new album. I never heard of them before, but I was pretty impressed after just one listen. You can listen to both here: http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds#/14

[evvandflow]

cant stop listening to I Tore You Apart in My Head

[SincerelyMe]

cant stop listening to I Tore You Apart in My Head

Same here. That song is perfect.

[ThisIsNotDan]

the ending rules, kinda reminds me of something Deftones would do

[herpderpharvey]

Digging the new album. I Tore You Apart In My Head is fucking great.

[punkDbass]

anyone know what the album art symbolizes?

I just picked up the album today, and I must say B&C are quickly becoming my favorite band ever, period.

well if I was to take a guess I would say it's a reference to the lyric from "Galena" (I tried to look into your eyes/the sky was too open/I tried to look in your eyes/but was blinded by the sun), but there's another lyric that I can't think of the moment that references it.

but yeah, I love the artwork

[cscwell107]

Reading lots of positive things about this band/record.


RIYL?

Brand New, Thrice or the New Moving Mountains record

[Jaded87]

Im loving Echo, Patience and Galena the most so far

[yayitsjoe]

just got my pre-order in the mail. the sun fire/blue looks awesome.

[SincerelyMe]

just got my pre-order in the mail. the sun fire/blue looks awesome.

I got the same one in the mail today. Looks sick.

[Jaded87]

The more i listen to this record the more i love it!

[wall e]

I better get my preorder today

[yayitsjoe]

I got the same one in the mail today. Looks sick.

agreed. looks as awesome as it sounds.

[Crzyvinyls]

Still waiting..can't wait to see the blue sunfire

[ThisIsNotDan]

just got mine too, came out ridiculously nice

[DJWildefire]

I'm interviewing Balance and Composure, so if anyone has any questions they want asked feel free to post and quote me.

[fifpb99]

really enjoying Separation... i tore you apart in my head, patience, more to me, and defeat the low are definite stand-outs. album was definitely a grower but im glad i stuck with it.

[ThisIsNotDan]

haven't listened in a few weeks because I'm not feeling like jumping out of a 30th story window, will have to spin it soon

[Derka Derka]

Finally got around to listening to this, I enjoy it but some of the songs kinda blend together at times.

[iam_theculprit]

Haha, I was thinking about this earlier. As much as I love B&C, most of the time I'm just not depressed enough to listen to them.

[phaynes1]

It is a very tough, but very good, record to listen to.

[JefferyMudgett]

I ordered their Split with Tigers Jaw off Amazon, and when i recieved it inside the case was a Tegan and Sara cd. It was immediatly turned into a frisbee.

lol im pretty sure you could've returned that?

[JefferyMudgett]

the guy said he was just gonna give me a refund, serves me right for buying used.

[Eighty8Percent]

Just recently got into this band. The Tigers Jaw split is easily their best work

[SeanGather]

Despite thinking some of the lyrics are a bit weak, this is maybe my album of the year so far. So, so good.

[Greg.Kushlan]

I've had this sitting on my Ipod since i got it, and something finally clicked and now I love this album, I'm excited to see thesse guys open for PBC in september now.

[wall e]

The Australian release comes with three extra acoustic tracks (Separation, Stonehands, More To Me). Can't wait to hear them, some of my favorite B&C tracks are their acoustic ones.

[CoheedForever]

Just listened to these guys for the first time yesterday and was very impressed. Some really cool stuff.

[keepmybones]

'Separation' is by far one of my favorite records of this summer/year. I do not think I have gone a day without listen to at least one song off of it.
