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 8 Studio albums to date with “Clumsy” often being considered the most popularized of the set. The Heavyweight Songfacts reports that their eighth studio album Curve was recorded from 2010 through 2012 at vocalist Raine Maida’s home recording studio. It was released on April 3, 2012.

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.”

    Naveed was far from average, in my estimation. Songs like Hope and Neon Crossing had teeth that you just can't find on any of Clumsy, ...Happiness, or Spirutal Machines.

    Woah, woah, naveed was fairly average in comparison to the three that followed it! Anyway, the album is such a downer and that is just what I want from Our Lady Peace! Welcome back to depressing me and impressing me, guys.

    Haven't done anything worth listening to since Naveed, but the new album is so amazing. Welcome back boys it's been a while!

    I was pretty angry when I didn't see "Curve" being sold at my local best buy. What the hell is best buy good for if they can't carry my favorite band's cd?

    Damn, I spelled his name wrong. Wow, that's a heck of a story though. Thanks stripes. Didn't know that was him on the album cover either

    they named it mettle because of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Chuvalo#Personal_life and the google definition of mettle sums it up pretty clearly i think "mettle: a person's ability to cope well with difficulties or to face a demanding situation in a spirited and resilient way." not only was he never KO'd once in 93 boxing matches but he managed to go through literal living hell and pull through it all

    I'm loving Mettle. I think it's the 2nd best track on Curve under Heavyweight and the best closer to an album since The Wonderful Future. The honesty from George Chavalo works powerfully with the music. I wonder why they decided to name the track Mettle though... any ideas?
