I always wonder why this band could never make it in the US, while everywhere else they play huge crowds at festivals.

Seeing them in 3 weeks.

The same could be said for many other Canadian bands. The Tragically Hip and Sloan are two others I can think of off the top of my head.

The one time I saw them in Indiana was in 2004, and they had a massive crowd. I don't think they've come back since unfortunately.

I remember seeing Billy Talent here in TO right after they made the switch from Pezz, and I absolutely loved them. 

Their self titled is still an awesome record, but most of the stuff that followed was no better than your local angry post-punk band. I assume that the fact that they never stacked up to their first couple full LPs, is why their following never swelled.
