A sonic assault melding influences such as Sunny Day Real Estate, Neutral Milk Hotel and Nirvana, their new 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 guitar 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 territory with the us vs. the world ethos of genuine punk rock.
