Balance and Composure is an American post-hardcore / alternative rock band from Doylestown, Pennsylvania.[2] They formed in the winter of 2007, after the breakup of two local Doylestown bands.[3] The band's music is often suggested having similarities to Title Fight, Brand New, and Nirvana.[4] They've released two studio albums and five EPs since their inception. Their second album The Things We Think We're Missing reached No. 51 on the Billboard 200, No. 10 on their Independent Albums, No. 13 on the Modern Rock/Alternative Albums and No. 16 on the Rock Albums charts.[5]
