Billy Talent writing for next album

Toronto-based Billy Talent have begun work on their forthcoming full length. The popular Canadian band explained:

The summer is half over and things with Billy Talent are as busy as ever. We just got home from a two and a half week tour through Europe. We played Moscow and Warsaw, which was a first for us and we were blown away from the response. The tour ended with us doing the massive Hurricane/Southside festivals and then a show in Prague with our friends in Anti-Flag. Right after that we headed to Quebec and P.E.I. to officially end touring of II. We ended up flying on 12 planes in 18 days!!

We took about a week off and now we're fully into writing mode. We're having a blast with our new creations and looking forward to getting into the studio to begin recording. I guess all of you would have heard "Turn Your Back" which we played everyday on the last tour. It was up on YouTube about 24 hours after we first played it live.

The band's last studio album, Billy Talent II, dropped in 2006.
