Billy Talent II, the second album from the Mississauga, Ontario, four-piece, came out on June 27, 2006, and it hits the ground sprinting. Benjamin Kowalewicz's yelp goes off like a smoke alarm, Ian D'Sa's guitar lines twist and slash, and Jonathan Gallant and Aaron Solowoniuk keep the whole thing hurtling: post-hardcore punch with pop-punk hooks sewn right in.
"Devil in a Midnight Mass" and "Red Flag" come out swinging, while "Fallen Leaves" and "Surrender" lean harder on melody without losing the bite. At home it went straight to number one, moving 48,000 copies in seven days, and it topped the chart in Germany too, even if America barely noticed, stopping at number 134. The band spent 20 months on the road behind it.
