Balance and Composure formed in the winter of 2007 after the break up of two local Doylestown bands. The members had all once played together in previous musical projects and eventually came together to form Balance and Composure. With the average age of the band only being 19, Balance and Composure has played over 70 shows, completed two east coast tours, and is preparing for the release of their second EP. With a sound that can be described as serene to explosive, they are an amazing group of musicians that will certainly be making a name for themselves in the future.

“Only Boundaries” is the follow up to Balance and Composure’s late 2008 self released and well received (“this is one of the best records from an unsigned band that I have heard in my life” – The Daily Chorus) “I Just Want To Be Pure” EP. The band while just barely legal, are not newcomers to the PA music scene having past and current members of such bands as The Erection Kids, War Pigs, Scenic State, and many others. “Only Boundaries” features 4 brand new songs that will make any fan of Jimmy Eat World, Texas Is The Reason or even Brand New smitten in joy. Available as a 12” EP (w/ a Free CD copy inside), first pressing is limited to 500 with 100 having a silk screened b-side.
