Billy Talent Update

Bonjour! Ca Va? Just dropping in to say hello and to see how everyone is doing? On our end, things are going great. We've been in our little cave working away for the last couple of months and things are really starting to take shape! The songs thus far are unlike anything we've ever done before yet it still seems to capture the urgency of our first record. Hard to put in words but the vibe is really special. Anyway we are doing a handful of shows this summer in Canada which we're stoked about but we're getting asked a lot about when we will be officially heading back out on the road. At this point there is no time frame for touring as our main priority is finishing writing and recording this new record! I will promise you that once this beast is ready to come out of its cage we will be touring everywhere for a very very long time! We miss all of our fans but I will say that it will be well worth the wait!

I hope you're all healthy and happy...on a side note if you live in Canada remember to vote on Monday May 2nd! You can't be heard if you don't speak up.

All the best to you and everything you do.

Much Love,

Ben

Hopefully that means a US tour in support of the new album. I've been dying to see them.

Awesome live band and I am excited to hear what they come up with next. I enjoyed all of their music, yes even III.

Yes, headlining PLEASE. Every time they roll my way it's in support of another band. I would love a full fledged set from these guys.

I'm surprised this band hasn't tried to headline the States yet. I'm sure they won't be able to play hockey arenas like they do in Canada, but surely they could do a small club tour.

It's weird to think of Billy Talent as an opening band when they pack arenas and are all over the radio in Canada.

Can't wait to hear this different sound they're going with. I hope this new record makes me love them again.

I know they said they wouldn't, but I really hope this album is called Billy Talent IV. Keep the dream alive!

III was such a disappointment :( here's hoping I like this one, but regardless of if I do, these guys are still awesome.

One of my favorite band.. I and II are by far up there with my all time favorite records. III was a disappointment 'cause of the lack of energy in the songs.. I hope this next one will be a little more punk like the first two album!

Anyways.. wow Rimouski... pretty cool for those people!

They headlined here back in.... 2006/2007ish...right around after their 2nd album came out. It was a small club but it was pretty packed and it was a great crowd. I don't listen to them any more but I remember it being a pretty good show.

if they're comparing it to the first album then it will probably be awesome. these guys are such great musicians

Sweet. I enjoyed their first two albums.

It won't be called IV, i remember them saying they wanted to end the trilogy with III and that the next album would be a return to form. If that's true, i'm stoked.
