Yes, they play one of his songs at the Lightning games, but you only get to hear a few bars then the friggin' referee drops the puck and they stop the music. River Below or something, if I ever get to hear the whole song i'll let you know.

Billy Talent, originally called Pezz, is a Canadian band, originally from Mississauga, Ontario. They are now based in downtown Toronto. They performed and recorded together for about a decade before finding a wide mainstream following.
The band originated in Meadowvale, part of the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, Ontario. In 1990, Ben Kowalewicz and Jon Gallant were part of a band called "To Each His Own", where Gallant played bass, and Kowalewicz was on drums. Kowalewicz moved to vocals, and Aaron Solowoniuk was recruited in his place. They then met Ian D'Sa backstage at their high school talent show. The trio would then go on to merge with D'Sa's current band which was breaking up at the time, "Dragon Flower", which was a mix of grunge, Rage Against The Machine, and hip-hop. Their merging would bring on the name "The Other One" for a short time, and eventually Pezz.

Pezz began writing, performing songs, and gaining attention and credibility at first locally, and soon in Toronto's broader indie music scene. Their first recording was a cheap 4-track demo. It was recorded in Ian D'Sa's basement in late 1994, and was named Jason Deluca, after a friend of the band. Soon after, in January 1995, they all put in money to record another demo of better quality, which they called Dudebox. It wasn't until the band members maxed-out their credit cards, and collaborated with Juno-nominated music producer Brad Nelson, that they recorded their first full-length album, Watoosh!, in 1998. While popular within Toronto's indie scene, it did not reach large mainstream sales levels.[1]
