Comprised of vocalist Ben Kowalewicz, guitarist Ian D’Sa, bassist Jon Gallant and drummer Aaron Solowoniuk, Billy Talent formed in 2001. Their self-titled debut full length was released in 2003 and climbed the charts on the success of the singles “Try Honesty” and “River Below.”The band went on to tour with the likes of Rancid and Rise Against and garnered multiple awards.

Among their six JUNO wins are 2004’s New Group of the Year, 2005’s Group of the Year and Album of the Year, 2007’s Rock Album of the Year and 2008’s Music DVD of the Year. The band has also received seven MuchMusic Video Awards and two CASBY Awards.

Now with multiple studio and live albums to their credit, Billy Talent released III in 2009. III includes the hit singles “Devil on My Shoulder” and “Rusted from the Rain” and was produced by Brenden O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Pearl Jam).

BBC said “In a nutshell, if you like melodic, upbeat rock with epic guitar riffs – you'll like Billy Talent’s III. Kowalewicz's vocals are sex on a stick and D'Sa and Gallant's guitar skills combined with Solowoniuk's drums make this a pretty hot package.”
