The band existed for almost a decade before mainstream success. The members met and played in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School under the name Pezz and remained underground in Toronto's indie music scene until 2001. The band renamed itself Billy Talent after running into legal trouble with the old name. It was then that Kowalewicz's connection with an employee of Warner Music Canada's A&R department landed the band a record deal and launched them into mainstream success. Since then, Billy Talent has made two multi-platinum records in Canada, and continues to expand their success overseas, this included touring for 20 months supporting their second album. They released their third album, entitled Billy Talent III, on July 14, 2009, and their fourth album, entitled Dead Silence, on September 4, 2012. Dead Silence was followed up by a full UK tour over the course of October and November 2012. To commemorate the longevity since the release of their first studio album, the band has released a greatest hits album entitled "Hits" on November 4, 2014.
In 2005, Billy Talent was ranked number 453 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.
BT Turns 10
On August 2013, Billy Talent announced a Canadian tour for Fall of that year entitled "A Return to The Roots" which they played their entire first self-titled album live to celebrate its 10th year anniversary. Soon after the tour, the band announced a 10th Anniversary reissue of the album released November 26. 2013 through Warner Bros. Records that features a bonus disc of rare demos and live recordings of the album's tracklist.
Billy Talent III is the third studio album by Canadian rock band Billy Talent. It was released on July 10, 2009 in Europe, July 13 in the United Kingdom, July 14 in Canada, and September 22 in the US. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling over 40,000 copies in its first week. It also peaked at #107 on the Billboard 200, making it Billy Talent's highest charting album to date. A demo version of one of the album's songs, "Turn Your Back", was released as a single in September 2008 and featured the band members of Anti-Flag, with the first legitimate single spawned by Billy Talent III is "Rusted from the Rain", which premiered May 17, 2009 on Triple J. The album version of "Turn Your Back" does not include Anti-Flag's vocals, as the single version does.
The second single from the album, "Devil on My Shoulder" was released on August 26, 2009.
A promotional website located at billytalent3.com has been launched to showcase the making of the album. Part of the promotion also included the Billy Talent Widget which allowed listeners to become the "Ultimate Billy Talent Fan". The widget rewarded users with rare tracks, videos, pictures and interviews as fans "level up" their widgets.
Two (also stylized as II) is the second and thus far final studio album by American alternative rock band The Calling, released on June 8, 2004 (Alex Band's 23rd birthday) through RCA Records. The record only features original members Alex Band and Aaron Kamin along with a variety of session musicians. A lot of the work from the album was influenced by U2.
Despite radio-friendly singles and relentless touring by the band, the album was viewed by many as under promoted by the label and disappointing compared to the success of their first album.
"Our Lives" was a minor hit, but the album was not as successful as their debut album Camino Palmero with sales totaling two million worldwide. Johnny Loftus at AllMusic, who gave it one and half out of five stars, said the album is "never adding enough of anything to be memorable or personal," and, that it is "the alternative to having an opinion."
"Chasing the Sun" is a song by English-Irish boy bandThe Wanted. It was released as their third single in the United States on 17 April 2012, from their debut EP, The Wanted: The EP (2012). It is also the lead single from their third studio album, Word of Mouth (2013).
There are two music videos for "Chasing the Sun". The first and official video was directed by Director X. It begins with The Wanted standing on the roof of the Rosslyn Hotel in Los Angeles in the middle of the night. It then begins to intersect with scenes of them in a club with some mysterious women, all of whom have strange sun-shaped tattoos on their hands, arms, thighs or belly. Each of the band meets one of these women and, upon being touched by them, all suddenly have exactly the same tattoo. The band decide to leave the club with their women and start walking down the secluded streets. They soon enter a different club. At the bridge, the boys are back on the roof of the Rosslyn Hotel, but this time at sunrise. The scene then changes back to the second club, where the boys start to get close to their women, but it turns out that the women are actually vampires, and all five boys get their necks bitten. The video ends with The Wanted walking out of the club into the bright sunlight.
Distant Light is the third album released by Australiansinger-songwriterAlex Lloyd. Released in 2003, it has been certified platinum in Australia and had three top 40 singles taken from it.
The Making of Distant Light
On the Chaos Music website, Lloyd states that the album is based on homesickness after a long stretch on the road promoting his second album Watching Angels Mend. "That was the headspace of where I was at the time. We went to a lot of strange places, maybe places I don’t want to revisit. It was a pretty lonely time. I think I’d reached a point where I’d just travelled too much."
Distant Light was also a success on the ARIA charts, with the album peaking at No. 9 on the Australian Charts and staying in the top fifty for 8 weeks. Three singles from the album charted - the first: "Coming Home" in August 2003, proved to be a successful single, peaking at No. 24 and remaining in the top fifty charts for 3 weeks. "Coming Home" became one of Lloyd's most well known songs and won him an ARIA for 'Best Male Artist' for a third time. The album's second single "1000 Miles" was released in November 2003, and peaked at No. 32, but only was in the top fifty for one week. However, Lloyd had success again when he released his third single, "Beautiful" in April 2004. "Beautiful" peaked at No. 30 on the Australian charts and remained in the top fifty for 4 weeks. The album also produced Lloyd's second moderately successful single in the UK. "Hello The End" was not a big hit in Australia, but gave Lloyd a single that entered the top No. 150 in the UK, doing better than "Amazing". "Hello The End" peaked in the UK at No. 146 respectively, 30 places higher than "Amazing".

Today I walked down our old street Past the diner where we'd meet Now I dine alone in our old seats The cold wind blows right through my bones And I feel like I'm getting old But I wish I was getting old with you I held your hand when we took shelter from the rain She laughed as we picked out our children's names White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away Black arrows cut the strings of my heart I kneel and pray Her clothes hang in the closet still The phone sits on the windowsill And every time it rings it gives me chills My heart just stopped when I was told Doctor, doctor, on the phone Said my love was never coming home I hold your casket gently walking to the grave Dark clouds eclipse, the sun won't shine again White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away Black arrows cut the strings of my heart I kneel and pray They gave her one more day, to say the words I couldn't say I'm crying in pain, crying in pain Our love will remain, I'm crying in pain And I'm not looking for answers No I'm not looking for answers But dear God, why did you choose her? White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away Black arrows cut the strings of my heart I kneel and pray They gave her one more day, to say the words I couldn't say I'm crying in pain, crying in pain
