Balance & Composure Announce 2013 Headlining Tour

Rising alternative rock band Balance and Composure will hit the road in early 2013 for a headlining U.S. tour in support of their debut full length album Separation.  The tour, featuring support acts The Jealous Sound and Daylight, will kick off on January 31 in Cleveland and culminate on February 24 in New York City.  Tickets go on sale this weekend.  Fans can check local listings for availability and more information.

Since the release of Separationin May 2011, Balance and Composure has amassed an incredible amount of support in the underground punk, indie and rock communities that has propelled the band to the forefront of a new wave of bands that are currently on the path of redefining rock in the current decade.  

The band’s unique blend of 90’s rock influences, post-rock and contemporary punk have made an impact on fans and critics alike, calling their debut album “brilliant” among other things.  And through hard work and relentless touring with bands like Circa Survive, Touche Amore, O’brother this is only the beginning of what is expected to be a breakout year for the band in 2013.

O'Brother announce New EP and Tour

Triple Crown Records is pleased to announce the release of Basement Window the new EP from O’Brother. The EP is a bit of a sonic departure for the band, stripping down and re-arranging a few of their favorites from their debut full length Garden Window. Vocalist Tanner Merritt explains “It’s a lot of fun to strip a song down to its very core and see how it holds its own based upon sheer songwriting. With so much volume and layering it’s very easy to lose those things. It’s fun and challenging to take a song and mold it in to something completely different. Give it a new tone and demeanor. That’s what our intention was with this EP, to (hopefully) allow ourselves and others to see these songs in a different light.”

Basement Window will be released digitally September 18th and include a bonus track not on the vinyl release. Vinyl will be released October 30th. The limited vinyl release is a special pressing, 1 side audio and 1 side etched artwork.

Basement Window track list:
Lo
Machines Pt. 1 
Lay Down
Malum
Poison!

O’Brother will join Circa Survive, Touché Amore and Balance & Composure on tour starting September 13th in New Haven, CT continuing across the country through October 26th. They will be taking a few shows off from the tour to make a big splash in their hometown of Atlanta with an appearance at Music Midtown performing alongside Pearl Jam, Florence And The Machine, Neon Tress and more at Atlanta’s Piedmont Park.
