BILLY TALENT SET FOR EXPLOSIVE TOUR

08.18.06

Billy Talent has announced plans for a major U.S. fall tour. The Toronto-based punk rock outfit - whose second album, BILLY TALENT II, has just been released to widespread acclaim - will take part in a multi-band itinerary that also features Rise Against, Thursday, and Circa Survive.

Guaranteed to be the most high-energy tour of the upcoming season, the month-long trek will kick off on October 23rd at the House of Blues in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, with dates continuing through a November 22nd show at Atlantic City?s House of Blues.

Having just wrapped up an explosive three-week run on the annual Vans Warped Tour, Billy Talent will gear up for the U.S. tour with a series of eagerly awaited European headline dates. Among the stops on the month-long itinerary will be Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

BILLY TALENT II has already drawn critical hosannas from such major national publications as Spin.com, who recently extolled the band as 'Canada?s answer to Fall Out Boy'.  'Resistance is futile,' declared Alternative Press, whose 4-out-of-5-rated review acknowledged Billy Talent as 'one of the most underrated punk bands in operation today.'  The review further praised the album?s first single, 'Devil In A Midnight Madness', as ?a perfect storm?buoyed by the band?s call-and-response yelping'.
