At the dawn of 2022, Billy Talent graced the cover of Exclaim! Magazine behind the release of Crisis of Faith, proving their continued — and ever-growing — relevancy amid the Canadian pop-punk renaissance. The momentum is still going, too, with the band set to headline Canada's inaugural emo nostalgia festival this summer — and they aren't immune to nostalgia either.
Before they became Billy Talent, they were known as Pezz, releasing one album, Watoosh!, in 1999 before adopting their now-household name. That album was re-released by Atlantic Records in 2005, but has remained mysteriously absent from streaming.
Not for much longer, though: Dine Alone Records has announced that Watoosh! will finally be available digitally on May 31, with the single "M&M" arriving ahead of time on May 17. You can pre-save it here, and stay tuned for "more Pezz updates coming soon."
