"Billy Talent III is a mind-blowing example of a band at the top of its game" –Rock Sound
"Without much hype at all from the media, the group has developed into one of the biggest cult bands in the world" –Kerrang
"Endlessly anthemic, bursting with hooks, impeccably played and thrillingly heavy where it counts" –Toronto Star
”If you like melodic, upbeat rock with epic guitar riffs, you'll like Billy Talent” –BBC
”Erottuu kanssakilpailijoistaan useammallakin tasolla -- yksipuolisen rymistelyn sijaan yhtyeen soinnissa voi kuulla sävyjä yhtä lailla Rollins Bandista kuin The Beatlesistäkin” –Soundi
Combining energetic alternative rock, punk and post hardcore, the hard-working band Billy Talent have played together for over 15 years. Having met each other in high school and started their musical career under the name Pezz, the band had a huge following in their native Canada already in the 90's. International success was bound to follow the release of their debut album as Billy Talent, "I", in 2003 as it was bound to nothing but grow after years of intensive gigging and the release of their sophomore album "ll" (2006).
Billy Talent's latest album "lll" was released in the summer, hitting the third spot on the Finnish album charts and staying amongst the most sold records week after week. Worldwide, the band have sold over two million records. Billy Talent's most renowned songs include radio hits ”Try Honesty”, ”Red Flag”, ”Fallen Leaves”, ”Rusted from the Rain” and ”Devil on My Shoulder”. Over the years, the band have toured with, for example, Rise Against, My Chemical Romance and Rancid. By far, the band have visited Finland five times: on Ruisrock's and Provinssirock's main stages, at sold out Tavastia, as a special surprise guest with My Chemical Romance and last time at Helsinki Ice Hall.
