Balance and Composure have shared “believe the hype,” a track of the band’s forthcoming album with you in spirit, produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Title Fight) and dropping on October 4th via Memory Music. The Philadelphia band kick off their tour on October 3rd in Brooklyn, NY.

Today the PA band shares album “believe the hype,” the heaviest instrumental composition Balance has ever comprised. Vocalist and guitarist Jon Simmons approaches the song and much of with you in spirit with intense self-reflection, examining and uprooting the very supports on which a life is built. Preemptive grief, wrestling with faith, familial responsibility and mortality were all weighing heavily while he wrote these lyrics. With you in spirit is the band’s first LP in eight years, and a thrilling full-length comeback after their four-year hiatus.

“I truly believe that this is the best collection of Balance and Composure songs there’s ever been,” it has the heavy stuff, it has the fast stuff, it has the groovy stuff. It has everything they’ve worked on over the last 12 years,” says Simons.
