		And singer Benjamin Kowalewicz is not holding back in the slightest either, screaming his lungs out throughout as he jumps around the stage.
		There’s a close connection between Billy Talent and their audience, with plenty of in-between song banter from Benjamin, and this is definitely one of their greatest strengths.

	Billy Talent
		For the new album, band members Benjamin Kowalewicz (vocals), Ian D'Sa (guitar), Jon Gallant (bass), and Aaron Solowoniuk (drums) worked with producer Gavin Brown to record 13 songs that underline the group's accessible melodies, distinct writing, and balanced arrangements.
		As a lyricist, Benjamin superbly expresses himself from the perspective of other people's frustrations.
		In fact, Benjamin delivers these despondent perspectives in such a real and convincing manner that he comes across as much the schizophrenic as he does the grand storyteller.

		Though the band is now considered a mainstream act, Kowalewicz says that their lyrical content is one of the things that separates them from the pop stars.
		Kowalewicz’s own point of view, however, is definitely not excluded in songs like “How it Goes,” a track that deals with a friend being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
		Kowalewicz says it was an important issue to tackle.

	Billy Talent CD review
		The tune also features a rare guitar solo, and vocalist Benjamin Kowalewicz’s voice is quite Johnny Rotton-esque in this particular instance.
		Billy Talent’s unavoidable passion and spiked hooks do a better job of keeping the interest level high than any gimmick ever could anyhow, so it was wise for Brown to leave things well enough alone.
		This recording’s literacy level is also quite high, as Kowalewicz throws in some real lyrical zingers here.

		However, Kowalewicz can also sound empathetic, as in the dark "Nothing To Lose," in which a friendless schoolboy loses all hope in life and commits suicide before his 18th birthday.
		Guitarist Ian D'Sa's soft rhythmic chords flow throughout the song and meld perfectly with the appropriately with Aaron Solowoniuk's subtle drumbeats.
		Fans of good rock music shouldn't miss the chance to hear Kowalewicz's original brand of clever and passionate libretto or Talent's debut album in general, as it will surely be one of punk-rock's most memorable achievements.

		Every now and again a punk band comes along that changes the rules, a band that twists their influences into shapes that haven't been heard before.
		Maybe it was the pressure of a debut London show, but when the sound problems migrated to his own microphone it quickly ended up buried in the drum kit, along with an accompanying stand.
		Angular At The Drive-In riffs support Kowalewicz's muppet-on-speed stage antics, and all but drummer Aaron Solowoniuk contribute to the yelped, screamed and shouted vocals.

		As the four boys of Billy Talent hit the stage at Studio 7 in Seattle, Washington on October 3rd they were overcome with excitement.
		Not only were they playing to a nearly sold out crowd after only their second time in Seattle, but the young fans went crazy when lead singer Benjamin Kowalewicz suddenly appeared on the stage.
		Immediately the band started in with the first song on their album “This is How it Goes.” Band members Benjamin Kowalewicz (vocals) and Ian D’Sa (guitar) were easily absorbed by spotlight and the most enjoyable center of attention.

		Billy Talent: Benjamin Kowalewicz (vocals); Ian D'Sa (guitar, background vocals); Jonathan Gallant (bass, background vocals); Aaron Solowoniuk (drums).
		The self-titled debut album from Canadian pop-punkers Billy Talent finds the group foregoing the usual sing-song jokiness of bands like Blink 182 in favor of an old school approach that recalls everything from the original British punk of the Buzzcocks to 1980s L.A. hardcore.
		Charismatic lead vocalist Benjamin Kowalewicz has a strident delivery that combines the in-your-face whine of vintage Jello Biafra with the anthemic shouts of Jane's Addiction's Perry Farrell.

	Billy Talent - Billy Talent: Silent Uproar
		The rest of the band, guitarist Ian D’sa, bassist Jon Gallant, and drummer Aaron Solowoniuk, have provided us with well-crafted music that complements the lyrics, which range from stories about a drugged out prostitute to childhood abuse, like the Earth to the sky.
		To delve into an analysis of each song would be rather pointless; each track is as vibrant and as notable as the next.
		Though, if I had to say anything negative about this band, the only thing I can pinpoint is that the Kowalewicz’ high-pitched wails might be something of an acquired taste.

		Billy Talent, hailing from Canada, were one of the first acts of the day, playing the side stage right after The Distillers, fronted by Brody Armstrong, crucified on the main platform giving a bloody, daredevil punk-o-rama vibe to the earlier part of the festivities.
		Billy Talent, the four-piece, were clearly steeped in a Black Flag foundation with hints of a Hanoi Rocks sense of glam, and vocalist Benjamin Kowalewicz also proclaimed their affection to a fan wearing a Fugazi shirt in the well-sized crowd for their early exhibition.
		Billy Talent live is an explosive burst of fun-filled energy.

		Bio: Punk revivalist quartet Billy Talent used to be known as Pezz back in their Streetsville, Ontario, high-school days.
		But by 1999, the quartet -- vocalist Ben Kowalewicz, guitarist Ian D'Sa, bassist Jon Gallant, and drummer Aaron Solowoniuk -- had adopted a new moniker and were making their way in Toronto with the self-released Watoosh!
		The Try Honesty EP followed in 2001; it led to strong local buzz, exposure supporting larger touring acts, and an eventual demo deal with EMI.

		Not only have they signed to Atlantic Records, but the band has already played shows for huge crowds on the second stage at this year’s Lollapalooza.
		With strong vocals and lyrics provided by front man Benjamin Kowalewicz, heavy guitar riffs from Ian D’Sa, and consistency from drummer Aaron Solowniuk and bassist Jonathan Gallant, Billy Talent has produced a solid piece of work.
		Considering the band was randomly named after a fictional character in Michael Turner’s 1993 book Hard Core Logo there is certainly nothing random about Billy Talent, they’re just great energy powered punk rock.

	Billy Talent Leeds Cockpit; Leeds, England October 31, 2003
		I caught up with extrovert vocalist Benjamin Kowalewicz before their Leeds gig to pick his brains on all things Billy Talent and find out just what he thinks of a certain group of spandex-tastic rockers..
		Kowalewicz knows how to work a crowd, but would you expect anything less after a decade of soul grinding practice?....well.....no. However I can safely say that Mr K's performance was particularly impressive...dry humping the drum kit, flashing and shaking his sweaty midriff...what more could the girls want?
		I was beginning to understand why crotch grabbing was such a regular occurance at BT gigs....

		There's one question the members of Billy Talent can't get through an interview without having to answer: "Did you meet Bryan Adams?" You don't have to excel at Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon to understand why this keeps coming up.
		In 2002, the band--singer Benjamin Kowalewicz, bassist Jon Gallant, drummer Aaron Solowoniuk and fantastically coiffed guitarist Ian D'Sa--found themselves armed with a Warner Bros. recording contract.
		Hell bent on making sure their major-label debut wouldn't sound like it was recorded in Calvin Johnson's rec room, they left their home base of Toronto for Vancouver, booking themselves into a state-of-the-art studio called the Warehouse.
