Tigers Jaw & Balance and Composure: Split (Orange Vinyl EP)

Originally released in 2011, this split between Tigers Jaw and Balance and Composure stands as a defining snapshot of the Pennsylvania emo and indie scene, alongside peers like Title Fight, Superheaven, and The Menzingers.

Balance and Composure’s side opens with the driving “Kaleidoscope” and moves through a set of dynamic, emotionally charged tracks, closing with the atmospheric fan favorite “Rope.” Tigers Jaw’s contributions revisit early material with a fuller band sound, bringing new depth to songs like “Lodging” and the instantly memorable “Jet Alone.”

A key release from an influential era, capturing two bands on the rise.

Format: Vinyl EP • Orange
