Balancing Act

Originating from Manchester but formed in London in 2022, Balancing Act have quickly become renowned for their charged live shows and all round electric sound. After gaining traction with their debut EP in November 2022, Balancing Act have become something of a key name in “ones to watch” discussions, being branded a contender for “the new generation’s favourite band” by Jack Saunders.

Self-described as “Dark, Sexy, and Sick”, Balancing Act can be more officially affiliated with the world of alternative rock. Dynamic and atmospheric, the sophomore EP release this year is marking a turn towards sonic grandeur and maturity, and the band have been gradually settling into a wider scale, cinematic delivery which suits them well.

Kai Jon Roberts (vocals) and Jackson Couzens (guitar) first met in Manchester whilst working on separate projects. After packing up and moving to London, they joined forces with David Carpenter (bass) and Patrick Hanbury (drums), forming the now settled quartet.
