The Balance is the third studio album by Welsh band Catfish and the Bottlemen. It was released on 26 April 2019 through Island Records and Capitol Records. It was preceded by the lead single "Longshot", which reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart, also becoming the band's highest-charting song on the chart. The album is being supported by a European tour, which began in April 2019. A rehash of Catfish and the Bottlemen’s two preceding albums, their fans went wild for the third LP.
