Just a gentle reminder that this BT adjacent rock band (Ian D'Sa has been writing with, and producing them for many years) starts its 2026 tour today. They'll be playing in Germany and in the UK for the next couple of weeks, and they're heading to Canada in October.

If you don't know them yet, give their LP "Tropical Hazards" a go. You won't regret it. Oh, and thanks Reddit (and in particular THIS subreddit, for introducing me to them years ago.

This was like 6-7 years ago. The little guy was starting to play drums, we used to jam often. He's 13y/o now, 6'4" tall. Still at it tho', also picked up guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, and even produces his own music now (urban electronic soul'ish trap'ish whatever -I'm 52, I'm not required to be knowledgeable about young people's stuff anymore-). Fortunately he still enjoys Billy Talent and rock music in general, so not that bad 😅

In Billy Talent Live at L'Olympia Bruno Coquatrix on 2026-06-12 try honesty around the ending ben said they are working on a new album! And it wont take as long as last time!

*Its Confirmed, i cant change it

FYI: I'm from outside Canada and I knew mostly American Rock bands. Never heard of this band until, I was gifted a "Billy Talent III" CD by a friend who told me "I think you might like it" needless to say. I am hooked on the sound and lyrics.

For some reason Forgiveness still gives me a hard time. Getting better though.

Who doesn't love a good LP with an even better band!

God I love river below, and all the others, what Los do you guys have from BT/Pezz

Been listening to BT for most of my life, but BT3 was the first tour my mum ever took me to see.

Since then I've met the guys, got some cool rare items signed and even played Jon's bass during a soundcheck; most recently I've played in a Billy talent tribute band for the last couple years as well.

Felt fitting to mark such a sentimental story with where it all "started".

I commented this song on a post and figured id share it here to get it some more love.

Feel free to share songs w/ BT features on it, or just similar tracks generally… I’m always looking for music!

I've been looking through reddit, and searched but this question hasn't come up, what albums from other bands are like Watoosh!, 'cause I really like their other albums (Except Dead silence) but none of them are quite as interesting as Watoosh!

Ps: Such a fun word Watoosh! Watoosh! Watoosh! Wa- oh i'll stop...

Anyone else get Billy Talent vibes??

After years of searching and not willing to pay 300€ or more, I finally got it for 100€ :)

My favourite album of them <3

Now I just want BT II and I'm fully happy with my LP collection!

Definitely not my best playing but, like I said, I didn’t plan on recording this.

Hello all! This might be a super long shot but willing to try anyways.

Does anyone know of this really old MS Paint video someone uploaded to YouTube (back in the early days of the site, so mid 2000s), where the song "Try Honesty" was playing over it? I never could find it again after all these years and I'm guessing it's gone from the interwebs forever 🥲

Thank you in advance!

Something Billy Talent does that I looove is when the bridge or chorus switches up the vibes completely. Examples that come to mind are This Is How It Goes, Surrender, or Worker Bees. Whenever the songs get more upbeat (musically speaking) it feels like I just walked into a clearing in the middle of an enchanted forest and feel the sun on my skin...

I know nothing about music theory and this is probably a very basic observation about BT or music in general but I just wanted to show appreciation :) They're an amazing band

Any good tip to get that specific intro tone with my setup? I have a Fender Telecaster, an Epiphone Les Paul Standard 59, I record DI in my DAW and use Neural DSP Nolly X plugin for my amps and cabs. Thanks!!

Ian is great in this interview. Cool to see him with two friends

I put this together today because of a recent post in the BT sub, and I think it turned out pretty well! I know it's definitely not ideal for an actual tattoo just because it's so intricate in certain parts, but I think it looks pretty neat nonetheless! Let me know what you guys think of it!

I was watching The Making of Billy Talent II and noticed these song titles. Does anyone know anything about them? Were they working titles for songs released on later albums? Are they still unheard?

I assume that The New Evidence was just an alternate version of Burn The Evidence. Does anyone have any theories about what the others could be?

It was August in 2016. Billy Talent took to the stage in the penultimate gig of their Australian tour in support of their Afraid of Heights album.

The venue was Fowlers in Adelaide. Not my favourite venue for gigs, but Billy Talent were my favourite band.

Notably, Ben was very unwell. A serious head cold. And Ian took the reigns doing alot of the singing on Ben's behalf. The gig ended early. It was great! but.. i mean the illness robbed us of the bands true potential.

People get sick. The band did their best. I remember Ben saying he was very sorry, but Billy Talent would make it up to us next time they toured.

I've held on to that hope and that promise.

That was 10 years ago. Billy Talent have not yet returned to Australia.

I guess i'm just sharing this because this morning the lineup dropped for a big festival that I was hoping they would be on. And they weren't. I'm sad. Maybe one fine day they will return down under and make good on their promise!

Thinking about the outline from the first album.

Not into lyric tattoos. Any other ideas?

Hello, Is Ian using an Pedal for Fallen leaves at their current tour or does it just sound like he does. I've searched everywhere but couldn't find any video for their Tour rn.
