About

Billy Talent is a Canadian rock band from Mississauga, Ontario. They formed in 1993 with lead vocalist Benjamin Kowalewicz, guitarist Ian D'Sa, bassist Jonathan Gallant, and drummer Aaron Solowoniuk. There have been no lineup changes, although Solowoniuk has been on hiatus from the band since 2016 due to a relapse of multiple sclerosis. In the three decades since their inception, Billy Talent has sold well over a million physical albums in Canada alone and nearly 3 million albums internationally. During their most successful period, they were ranked as one of the top 10 best-selling native bands in Canada.

The band existed for almost a decade before mainstream success. The members met and played in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School under the name Pezz and remained underground in Toronto's indie music scene until 2001. The band renamed itself Billy Talent after running into legal trouble with the old name. It was then that Kowalewicz's connection with an employee of Warner Music Canada's A&R department landed the band a record deal and launched them into mainstream success. Since then, Billy Talent has made three multi-platinum records in Canada and continues to expand their success overseas; this included touring for 20 months supporting their second album. They released their third album, Billy Talent III, in 2009, and their fourth album, Dead Silence, in 2012. Dead Silence was followed up by a full UK tour throughout October and November 2012. To commemorate the longevity since the release of their first studio album, the band has released a greatest hits album entitled Hits in 2014.

In 2015, they began to prepare material for their fifth studio album. Just before entering the studio, drummer Aaron Solowoniuk decided to sit out the recording sessions while he continued his longstanding battle with multiple sclerosis. Fellow Canadian Jordan Hastings was quickly recruited to play as Solowoniuk's studio stand-in, and, in early 2016, the group completed work on Afraid of Heights, which was released in July of that year. The band's most recent album Crisis of Faith, was released on January 17, 2022.

Billy Talent est un groupe de punk rock canadien, originaire de Mississauga, en Ontario. Il est formé en 1993 avec Benjamin Kowalewicz au chant, Ian D'Sa à la guitare, Jon Gallant à la basse, et Aaron Solowoniuk à la batterie. Aucun changement de formation n'est effectué jusqu'au départ d'Aaron en 2016, Jordan Hastings d'Alexisonfire, Cunter et Say Yes le remplacent. En 13 ans d'existence, Billy Talent compte plus d'un million d'albums vendus rien qu'au Canada et près de trois millions d'albums à l'international.

Les membres se rencontrent et jouent au Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School sous le nom de Pezz et restent underground dans la scène musicale indépendante torontoise jusqu'en 2001. Le groupe se rebaptise Billy Talent à cause de problèmes de droits. Ils signent ensuite un contrat avec Warner Music Canada et se popularisent. Dès lors, Billy Talent est certifié multi-disque de platine au Canada et continue d'étendre son succès outre-mer avec une tournée de vingt mois en soutien à son deuxième album. Ils publient leur troisième album, intitulé Billy Talent III, le 14 juillet 2009, et leur quatrième album, Dead Silence, le 4 septembre 2012. Dead Silence est suivi par une tournée britannique à la fin de 2012.
