Balance (band)

Balance was an early 1980s pop rock group based out of New York City and fronted by Illinois native, Peppy Castro, formerly of Blues Magoos. Other members included guitarist Bob Kulick, arranger and keyboardist Doug Katsaros, drummer Chuck Burgi, and bassist Dennis Feldman.

The group's most noteworthy hit was 1981's "Breaking Away". The song peaked at #22 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart. An incredibly naff pop song with a Latin beat, it managed to include some nifty guitar work from Kulick, thereby anchoring the band in the soft-rock tradition. Their second album, In For The Count, was much heavier. However, Peppy Castro's pop vocals while differentiating Balance from so many other heavy metal wannabes, rendered their music a little camp and vageuly Las Vegas. The best song on the album, "Slow Motion", was incredibly poppy, and confused hard rock fans.
