Had Another Mare
Balancing Act
WE SAY
Balancing Act follow recent single ‘Scar’ with the wonderfully chaotic ‘Had Another Mare’– a genre-hopping, brilliantly surreal offering that marks them as one of the UK’s most exciting left-leaning guitar acts. Clocking in at just over two minutes, the track darts between brooding alt-rock to mischievous trip-hop textures and warped experimental pop, all while maintaining a sharp, clean edge. Watch their satirical music video created with longtime collaborator Max Dos Santos here. Since their 2022 debut and subsequent EP releases, including last year’s ‘Tightropes And Limericks’, the London-based outfit has earned tastemaker support from BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, 6 Music, Clash, Dork and DIY, among others. Having built a strong live reputation through sold-out shows in London, Manchester, Paris and Amsterdam, the four-piece will be supporting Courting at Sebright Arms tomorrow night (11 July), followed by a show at Signature Brew Blackhorse Road next Friday. Top stuff.
