Okay, maybe this isn't a "cool" choice, but I still really like Billy Talent. Relatively straightforward pop/punk/metal, but I think their music is really well crafted and often has some interesting perspectives on well worn topics. They aren't going to change your world, but they're still fun to listen to.
I was shocked to see that Pitchfork didn't even deign a review for any of their albums. I think they deserve better than that.
For you trivia buffs, they got their name from one of the characters in the famous indie Canadian film Hard Core Logo.
