Episode 23: Benjamin Kowalewicz, Billy Talent

30 min • 29 oktober 2021

You might call this episode something of a Halloween special – all I’m saying is do make sure you stick around right up to the end. And yeah, it was a delight to catch up with Ben Kowalewicz from Billy Talent – I think a really lovely, enriching chat transpired.

We crammed a lot in - talking about the bands new-ish single, ‘End of Me’, which sees the band collaborate with Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo; the Canadian group's forthcoming sixth record, Crisis of Faith; the current status of drummer Aaron Solowoniuk’s battle with multiple sclerosis… but really, I could just listen to Ben talk all day. He’s got such a smart, chill, empathetic take on life, which is exactly the sort of thing we all need right now, is it not?
