Balancing Act

Kai 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 George Le Page (drums) and David Carpenter (bass), forming the now settled quartet.

Becoming quickly renowned for their charged live shows and all round electric sound, Balancing Act’s recent debut headline tour saw them sell out their dates at London’s Oslo and Manchester’s Deaf Institute, before heading to Bristol and Birmingham for the first time.

2023 brought further success by way of radio support, with Balancing Act being featured as the ‘Next Wave’ on Radio 1’s Future Artists, and their most recent single ‘Cheshire Smile’ featured on both Radio 1’s Indie Show and BBC Radio 6 as the show’s ‘Indiependence Play’. After gaining traction following their debut EP last November, Balancing Act have become something of a key name in “ones to watch” discussions, being included in Dork’s Hype List, DIY’s NEU Bulletin, and 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 3 singles last year have marked a turn towards sonic grandeur and maturity, and the band have been gradually settling into a wider scale, cinematic delivery which suits them well.
