About
Drawing on legends like Buzzcocks and Fugazi, Canadian quartet Billy Talent (named after the guitarist in Bruce McDonald's cult punk movie <i>Hard Core Logo<i>) yell out dueling vocals over crunchy guitar riffs and muscular, consistently catchy basslines. Check out the screamer "This Is How It Goes" or the hyperkinetic "Living in the Shadows"—their fist-in-the-air spirit will spike your energy to dangerous levels. Just be prepared: You'll be humming and air-drumming these infectious tunes for the rest of the week.</i></i>
