Billy Talent singer Ben Kowalewicz is betraying neither cockiness nor complacency as he candidly assesses what might await the group in the summer of 2009. "People are always saying: ‘You sound so different from record to live,’" says Kowalewicz. "So one thing that we really wanted to do was amalgamate both, so that it sounds really big and heavy but there's still this feeling that's really visceral and alive." Mission accomplished – Billy Talent has never sounded more visceral or alive than it does here, and alongside the likes of Alexisonfire, Against Me and Cancer Bats, this will be a tour that you don’t want to miss.
