Toronto, Ontario, Canada (1992 – present)

Our Lady Peace (also known as OLP) is an alternative rock band formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1992.

The band has sold over five million albums worldwide, won four Juno Awards, and ten MuchMusic Video Awards. OLP has released 7 Studio albums to date with “Clumsy” often being considered the most popularized of the set.

Full circle: a theme that eagerly resonates with each member of multiplatinum survivors, Our Lady Peace. As the band approached the release of their seventh studio album, a feeling of renewal and excitement washed over Toronto’s favorite sons in a manner not felt since their earliest days.

Self-produced in lead singer Raine Maida’s Los Angeles home studio, the 10-track Burn Burn (in stores July 21 2009), marks the longest period between studio albums for Our Lady Peace. It also signifies a sonic and philosophical rebirth. The band now enjoys a creative and professional freedom that they haven’t experienced since the release of their now classic debut. “I think about the way we made Naveed,” Maida recalls. “We were just starting, we knew nothing about the business and we had no expectations. It was four guys in a room just trusting their instincts. We went back to that. ‘Liberating’ doesn’t really even sum it up.”

Burn Burn is a triumphant return to what Maida terms “a proper, mature rock album,” steeped in the kind of raw intensity that drove their early material. Blinding rays of anthemic light make way to the tender poise and precision of a band that was looking for a way out and found a satisfying new way in.

    @SteRDLK Thanks for the info!

    The new album is out in April and is called Curve!

    Spiritual machines is superior to both those albums so that is silly advice.

    Listening to clumsy is a real blast from the past for me.

    Clumsy and Happiness are their only good albums. Just pick those up and ignore everything else.

    Heavyweight is actually pretty encouraging for the new album. It makes me interested to hear more. Dunno why they didn't call it Weightless and ditch the whole boxing thing though

    Also, Mike turner hasn't done anything significantly better than what steve has been doing since Gravity. Fair ground was a joke and so is that other band he's in now.

    @krizbits000 Because when Mike Turner was part of the band they actually made good music... not that mush they now dare call music. His departure and Bob Rock's influence signaled OLP's loss of artistic integrity. The art rock touches they had, Raine Maida's vocals and Taggart's drumming have never been the same after that. Everything has been diluted to produce this unoriginal modern sound that emulates a million other bands, They said they wanted a more modern guitar sound and a player capable of more experimental playing capacity. All they did was muck up a dynamic that had worked so well up to Spiritual Machines. Steve Mazur is a capable player but nothing he does is even close to experimental and to be honest he has nothing special going for him he's just "another" guitar player.

    41 second preview of "Heavyweight" on OurLadyPeace.com - sounds Spiritual Machines-esque in my opinion.

    Why Our Lady Peace has to revolve around Mike turner? Oh God.

  • grandbazaar

    Love every album that has Mike Turner on guitars. Once he left they have gone downhill.

    I really like the new single, but I'm not sure it will be on the new album. I think it's just a single for the Occupy Wall Street cause as the band has been a part of the movement.

    New song - Fight the Good Fight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ld867O-57U
