" New pop sensations Equilibrium have burst onto the scene with their hit song, “Pressurize My Love.” Equilibrium may seem like a typical boy band, but the group has one unique feature: its members seem to change almost constantly. As difficult as it is to pinpoint who is in the group at any given time, Ice3 managed to meet up with current members Charles, Dalton, and Graham to talk about their recent success.

The Destiny’s Child-esque lineup alterations have spurred much criticism. Many fans have found it hard to remain loyal to the group when their favorite member is phased out, so to speak. The question must be asked: why is it necessary to keep changing the group’s roster? Charles takes this issue in stride. “They told us when we joined that we’d be kicked out in a month or so, so it’s not like we’re offended by it or anything. It’s what keeps the group new and fresh. And we are pretty fresh. Every couple weeks, a new guy joins with new ideas and slammin’ dance moves. That’s why were called Equilibrium, man. It keeps us balanced,” he says.

The group’s latest album, entitled “Equilibrium Shifts,” has inspired questions from fans and critics alike. Many of the songs seem faster than the group’s previous work, which consisted mostly of ballads. When asked what has brought about this change in musical style, Dalton responded, “There has just been so much more pressure put on us since we’ve gained success. We started making dance music ‘cause our manager said that would make us hotter. Plus, he told us that’s what the ladies like.”

As if Equilibrium doesn’t experience enough changes, the boys told Ice3 that they’ll soon be engaging in a complete “shift.” “Part of the reason our album is called ‘Equilibrium Shifts,’ other than that’s just a really badass name, is ‘cause they told us pretty soon the group would be totally different,” Graham reflected. When asked what the total difference would be, he paused as if in thought. “Uhh… Oh yeah! We’re adding new members!” he exclaimed.

The group’s manager recently let out a press statement expressing that Equilibrium would soon be changed from a three-boy bunch to a five-member ensemble. When asked why this change was occurring, Equilibrium’s manager, Dave La Châtelier, sighed. “The boys say they’ve been stressed out with this change in pressure. So I figured I’d add more members to minimize the stress. Plus, those girls just can’t seem to get enough of their hotty-hotness. This way, there’ll be even more candy for the eye. And these boys are solid hunks of liquid sexy, if you know what I mean. Even if they do occasionally emit an unpleasant amount of gas.”

We at Ice3 couldn’t agree more."
