[The band] Billy Talent actually got their name from the Canadian 1996 cult classic film Hard Core Logo.
"Actually, we got to meet the guy that played Billy Talent, Callum Keith-Rennie," D'sa recalled, when asked if he ever got any calls from the musician and star of the film. "He came out to our show when we played in Vancouver at the Coliseum. He was actually doing work out there.
"We hung out backstage, and it was really cool. We got to meet Hugh Dillon and the director, Bruce MacDonald. He's actually thinking about maybe doing part two, so maybe we'll be involved.
"The first thing we received (after their first Juno wins) were four or five copies of the book (Hard Core Logo) by Michael Turner, and (Turner) said ‘good luck and that he was so proud that a Canadian band took the name Billy Talent."
