The band stayed alive for about a decade before middle-of-the-road success. The members of the band met and played in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School under the name Pezz and stayed behind in Toronto's indie music scene until 2001. The band renamed itself Billy Talent after running into lawful problems with the old name. It was at that time Kowalewicz's association with an employee of Warner Music Canada's A&R department landed the band a record contract and launched them into mainstream success.
