Biography
1) Pezz (USA) 1989–Present.
2) Pezz (Canada) 1993–1999, now known as Billy Talent.
1) Pezz formed in Memphis, Tennessee in 1989, released two 7” ep’s and their first full-length on their own Truant Records between ‘92 and ‘95 and recorded a split album for NYC’s Bittersweet Records in 1996 before signing to BYO Records in 1997. Most recently Pezz released the 2008 Split 12” When Giants Walked The Earth backed with fellow Memphis band While I Breathe, I Hope on Makeshift Music.
After a 5 year hiatus of only playing once or twice a year, Pezz is now currently working on new material for releases and playing live in and around the Memphis area. It is not likely that Pezz will ever tour again, but we’re not ruling out playing the occasional out of town show. Marv is a daddy twice over, and that makes piling in the van hard. Since we all live in the same city now, we saw no reason why we wouldn’t carry Pezz into it’s 17th year and beyond. While most punk bands last only a few years, if even that, Pezz has held together through a myriad of line up changes, gruelling tours and personal struggles. The thing that has held Pezz together is the intense friendship between its core members and its honest approach to music.
They’ve been able to make many lasting friendships through the U.S., Canada and Europe and have been fortunate to tour and play with such great bands as: Leatherface, Wesley Willis, At the Drive In, Hot Water Music, Bouncing Souls, SamIam, 7 Seconds, Youth Brigade, All the Answers, The Unit Breed, DBS and too many others to count.

"again, we didn't force them to do anything. we don't care if other bands use our name. we never had any interest whatsoever in these guys. years ago, someone representing the band (the manager or something) demended $5,000 from us and threatened to sue us. turns out they had just tried the same lame extortion act on our label BYO records, who blew them off. we sent them proof of legal claim to the name, the manager or whatever threw a cuss-out fit, then we never heard from them again. they changed their name to "the real pezz" then i guess billy talent." Been listening to Pezz (Memphis) since 1996, never heard about Billy Talent, but he sounds like a real prick to force a group of really great guys to change their name.

They should really fix this page since it has Billy Talents songs on it that they made when they were known as Pezz. This page is for the american band that forced Pezz(Billy Talent) to change their name to Billy Talent. [2]
