Since their 2022 debut, Balancing Act have sat safely atop ‘Ones to Watch’ lists, being tipped by Radio 1, Jack Saunders, 6 Music, Clash, Dork Magazine, and DIY Magazine. Their previous EP, Tightropes And Limericks, showed the band coming into their own: their songwriting had matured, their identity sharpened, and their lyricism became more personal than ever.

With their live show being likened to “mentos in a Coke bottle”, the band’s live
reputation has been built through a series of high-energy, sold-out headline shows across London, Manchester, Paris, and Amsterdam. The band this year launch their most ambitious chapter yet, their debut album Who’ve You Come As?, released in two parts, with the first arriving on October 3rd.
