Billy Talent is a punk band from Toronto, Canada. They formed in 1993
with Benjamin Kowalewicz as the lead vocalist, Ian D'Sa on guitar,
bassist Jon Gallant and drummer Aaron Solowoniuk. There have been no
lineup changes, although Aaron is currently taking a hiatus from the
band due to an MS relapse, and Jordan Hastings from Alexisonfire, Cunter
and Say Yes is currently filling in for him. In the 24 years since
their inception, Billy Talent sold well over one million albums in
Canada alone and nearly 3 million albums internationally. 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, entitled
Billy Talent III, on July 14, 2009, and their fourth album, entitled
Dead Silence, on September 4, 2012. Dead Silence was followed up by a
full UK tour over the course of 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 on November
4, 2014. The band regrouped and began to prepare material for its fifth
studio album. Just prior to entering the studio, drummer Aaron
Solowoniuk made the difficult decision 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 that July.
