Where is balance and composure from

We had a little support system, which was really cool. We should have. We signed, they made some post on their social media, and that was it. And Chris [Hansen] at No Sleep is one of our oldest friends, he believed in us since our demo, which is atrocious.

We dream big, we want to be a bigger rock band. Radio play, bands want that. Bands want to flex on their parents. The main goal really is to get more people to hear your music in any way. We just wanted to expand our fanbase. The rock game is hard, especially now. Title Fight were also on the tour and we thought that was the coolest shit in the world. We got to play the Electric Factory for the first time — my first concert was [seeing] Relient K there as a young boy [ laughs ].

We sold out the TLA on our tour with Seahaven [in ], it was one of the biggest accomplishments in my life. Then, of course, bodies flung around right when the drums hit and the instruments all came in. These intense moments are scattered throughout Separation.

The emotions are so dramatic that they feel physically tangible. The album art of a painted woman in a dress with a sun for a head has become a symbol — a symbol that stands for unrestrained feeling. They will, with each generation, stumble upon Separation. It will never fail to resonate as long as angst lives on.

Besides, no one really listens to Balance And Composure exclusively for the lyrics; the sound is what pulls a listener in, just absolutely dynamic and immersive. This is an album for escapism no Seahaven pun intended. I still know every word; I can still drum every rhythm with my fingers. More importantly, they underscore the incremental progress of his matured perspective.

They had remained silent so as to not draw attention to themselves or offer a juicy narrative that had nothing to do with their music. As with The Things We Think , it feels like the sound of a curious band still working out how to make music as distinct as its influences; whether lyrically or sonically, they come across as either unknowable or proudly workmanlike.
