I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned Billy Talent yet. Billy Talent is amazing, and I listen to them a lot. When I listen to a band a lot, I mean I specifically pick one of their albums at least once a week. This lot, well, I can’t get enough of them.
I’ve seen these Canadian rockers three times now, and they have an unrivalled energy on stage. Ben Kowalewicz, their singer, alone is exhausting to watch. When I say exhausting, I mean that I don’t understand how he does it, but at the same time, it’s so contagious. I live with a constant craving of needing to see Billy Talent again, that’s how good they are.
They also have absolutely amazing lyrics in their songs. They often touch upon heavy subjects, such as in Devil in a Midnight Mass and Nothing to Lose. It’s hard to pick my favourite Billy Talent song, but this one will always have a special place in my heart.
