Afraid of Brackets (Billy Talent bracket) Bracket • Page 7

I don't think my dad would be on board with this band at all lol

 

The time I saw these headline at Riot Fest in Toronto I was blown away at how many 50-60+ year olds were there singing along to every word. I mean, they’re a huge radio band here, but it still took me by surprise.

 

I’ve only seen them once (and it was a short festival set) but I was there with my dad and he seemed into it so I figured I’d give it a shot!

Tbf I think the venn diagram of music that both me and my dad enjoy is the tiniest overlapping sliver of The Beach Boys and that's about it.
