Artist description Can you handle it? Ask yourself this question as Balance revs its engine, takes off and drives their "High Performance Rock" IN YOUR MIND—they’ve got a big sound and they’re not afraid to use it. The talented Orick brothers, Shannon, Jason and David, and front man, Matt Hurt, deliver this "High Performance Rock" with passion, consistency and hard rockin’ musicianship from the first to last note of every live show. Audiences reel among scorching guitar and impeccable rhythms, while all eyes are drawn to the dynamic vocalist as he treads on the edge of darkness searching for answers to love and life. Balance is burnin’ across the Midwest with hard hittin’, straight-ahead "High Performance Rock" ‘n roll this Fall through Spring - in support of their debut full length CD, In Your Mind. In Your Mind contains 14 "High Performance Rock" songs featuring the single, ‘Reality.’ From hard thrusting up-tempos to quintessential rock ballads, Balance establishes a wide-ranging appeal for all audiences.
