Billy Talent War Against Guitar Hero |
The summer release of Billy Talent III was accompanied by an edition called Guitar Villain, which featured the entire album but with the guitar tracks removed.
And Kowalewicz says the idea came up after a friend of the band discussed how much he enjoyed guitarist Ian D'Sa's playing. The Canadian frontman tells AltPress: "It was this whimsical idea of doing our own version of Guitar Hero. I think it's really cool on a couple of levels. It encourages people to pick up a guitar and play � as opposed to picking up something with five buttons and pretending to play."

MxPx All-Star to Feature Ataris and Summer Obsession Stars |
The MxPx All-Stars will perform four dates in Japan with friends, Zebrahead starting on December 4 in Tokyo and ending in Osaka on December 8. The All-Stars will then head off to KualaLumpur, Malaysia for a solo date on December 11.
"We decided to change things up a little for some International dates, due to Yuri having another baby recently and Tom wanting to be home through the holidays," said MxPx lead vocalist and bassist Mike Herrera. "Chris [Wilson] has been our fourth member for awhile covering on select dates, so he was an easy selection. I asked Kris [Roe] to join in because he's another close friend of ours that plays his own music and I knew he would be a fun addition to the line-up."

Inhale Exhale Week: Final Day |
Ryland Raus: This song is about wanting to be far away from a situation, but at the same time wanting to be a big part of that situation. It deals with trying to escape and forget about lies that were told to you. It also goes on to question the others that you are dealing with as well as yourself. The main theme is trying to erase past pain and replace it with positive new memories.
John LaRussa: I wrote this song with the mindset to be more melodic all the way through. I didn't want to write a chaotic song, I wanted to write a song full of melody. Because the end was so "heavy." So I wanted to keep the technicality of what the album had, but still keep the song catchy. I think the song captures the punch of the album, but people will realize that it's a different step from the rest of the record the more they listen to it.
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album
