Billy Talent

 

Billy Talent is an alternative rock band from Mississauga, Canada.
Lead singer Benjamin Kowalewicz (born December 16, 1975 in Montreal) studied at the Our Lady of Mount Caramel Secondary School, and met there Jonathan Gallant (born July 23, 1975), with whom he played in the band To Each His Own.

At a band competition they met  band members that played at that time in various bands and decided to play together in the future. The new band was called Pezz and the music was at that time progressive rock. Besides a few local gigs, they took in 1998 the album Watoosh! .

1999, a reorientation towards alternative rock, and due to disagreements with an eponymous band the name was changed to "Billy Talent", a character from the movie Hard Core Logo. With the new image and style they aroused interest in Toronto's largest radio rock show and the producer gave them a record deal with Warner Records.
