Alternative band

Toronto based quartet Our Lady Peace has established itself as one of Canada’s most successful alternative rock bands. Indeed, the band’s heavy, melodic sound coupled with singer Raine Maida’s emotional lyrics have earned Our Lady Peace something very foreign to most Canadian artists-a sizeable American audience. Although touring with rock super stars Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Van Halen, and the Rolling Stones ensured the band massive U.S. exposure, the key to their state-side success, saysMaida, is what the did with that exposure. "They [fans] don’t care that we’re from Canada," remarked Maida in Jam! Music. "They just care that they’re connecting with the music and lyrics.

Our Lady Peace had humble beginnings. The first two members, Maida and guitarist Mike Turner, met while studying at the University of Toronto in 1992, and soon recruited Chris Eacrett on bass, and drummer Jeremy Taggart. Duncan Coutts joined band in October 1995, replacing Eacrett on bass. The quartet took its name from Mark Van Doren’s poem called "Our Lady Peace." The band sent unsolicited demos to a number of large labels, and were shocked and amazed when Sony Music Canada gave them not only a contract, but complete creative control. They signed with Sony Music Canada after only 14 months together, seven shows under their belts, only four songs produced, and no touring experience. Maida told Mike Ross of Express Writer, "We were a bunch of naive kids."

Debut Bearer of Good News
In March of 1994, Our Lady Peace released its debut album, Naveed, on Sony Canada; it debuted in the United States on Relativity Records one year later. According to Billboard the album means "bearer of good news," and reflects a title of Middle Eastern influence. In its review of Naveed, Entertainment Weekly noted the "anguished vocals a la Pearl Jam, and churning guitars by way of Stone Temple Pilots," and called it an album that definitely would attract "grunge addicts." A New York Times critic called Our Lady Peace’s music "passionate, hones, empathetic."

The single, "Starseed," brought the band it’s first taste of major success, reaching th Top Ten in Canada as well as the Top 40 in the United States. Although the single initially received limited radio play in Canada, the video received extensive exposure on Canada’s MuchMusic video channel. "Starseed" also caught the attention of rock god Robert Plant’s ear during radio play in New York during 1995. Plant contacted Our Lady Peace’s management and before they knew it, the band was

opening for Jimmy Page and Robert Plant in Chicago. Plant told the band howmuch he "loved" the record, and he felt they emitted the most "conviction" he had noticed in a band in a number of years. In addition to opening for Page and Plant, the band has toured extensively in the United States and Canada with other major acts. In 1995 and 1996 they opened for Van Halen and Alanis Moris-sette in Edmonton, and, in November of 1997, they opened for the Rolling Stones in Quebec City. Since their beginning, the band has performed over 400 live shows, for over a half million people.

Clumsy’s Sales Hardly Ungainly
In early 1997, Our Lady Peace signed to Columbia Records and released their second album, Clumsy. Although one reviewer, Jan Stevenson of the Toronto Sun, found Clumsy a bit lacking in "passion and originality, making this sophomore effort less powerful than their winning debut," the band’s fans apparently felt differently. The album debuted at number one on the Canadian pop chart, and within three weeks of release sold over 100, 000 units. Clumsy was recorded at Arnyard Studios in Toronto by Arnold Lanni, who produced their debut album, as well. The album’s first single, "Superman’s Dead," gained the band exposure on MTV. Maida provided some insight into the lyrics of "Superman’s Dead" in an interview with Karen Bliss of Jam! Music. He discussed the difficulties kids have growing up in today’s world, and about how strong the messages are from the media. He compared the old Supermanshows and to today’s Beavis and Butt-Head. "He [Superman] was a real hero but I think Beavis and Butt-Head wins today."

One of Maida’s biggest heroes in singer, Sinead O’Connor. Maida admires her ability to pour herself out to audiences, and told Kerry Gold of the Vancouver Sun that, "she [O’Connor], for me, is the ultimate." Other inspirations for Maida include Otis Redding, U2, Janis Joplin, and Stevie Wonder. In an interview with Alternative Rock World online, the other members claimed to be "music junkies," naming Radiohead, Portishead, U2, the Beatles, and Elton John as some of their musical influences.

Change of Venue Required Adaptation
After several years of touring as a support band for better known bands, Our Lady Peace began its first headlining tour in 1998. This tour took them out of the small intimate clubs and on to the stages of large arenas. While the increased size of the venues they were now playing called for many technical adjustments, it also created certain emotional problems, such as the band’s ability to remain connect with the audience. In an attempt to compensate for the size and lack of intimacy of large arenas, Our Lady Peace shot a series of short films to accompany their live concerts, hoping to reach each member of their audiences, emotionally, regardless of one’s proximity to the stage.

With two hit albums and over 400 live performances in the United States and Canada, it looks like Our Lady Peace has two countries conquered, with thousands of fans on both sides of the border. The band hopes to have staying power, too, using their arena tours as an opportunity to secure their relationship with fans. It appears their fears of being just another "disposable" band or being aone-hit wonder are groundless. As Lisa Wilton of the Calgary Sun said, "it was only a matter of time before Our Lady Peace attempts to take on the world." To which Maida replied, "Absolutely."

Biography

Our Lady Peace was one of the most successful Canadian bands of the post-grunge era, issuing platinum-selling album after platinum-selling album while also enjoying modest acclaim in America. The group formed at the University of Toronto in 1992, where vocalist Raine Maida and guitarist Mike Turner (a British expatriate) first banded together under the name "As If". They later recruited bassist Chris Eacrett and jazz drummer Jeremy Taggart, and the quartet changed its name to Our Lady Peace in tribute to a Mark Van Doren poem. After partnering with the Canadian branch of Sony Records, Our Lady Peace released 1995's Naveed, a strong debut album that sparked the modern rock hit "Starseed." A smaller label, Relativity, released the album in America, and Our Lady Peace built their North American audience by touring with fellow Canadian Alanis Morissette that summer.

After the band replaced Eacrett with bassist Duncan Coutts, the sophomore effort Clumsy arrived in 1997. Fueled by Raine Maida's unique vocals, which relied heavily on the singer's falsetto range, Clumsy proved to be enormously successful, going platinum in the U.S. and earning a rare diamond certification in Canada. Our Lady Peace returned two years later with Happiness Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch, a lighter album that featured the new addition of synthesizers, and Spiritual Machines followed in 2001. Shortly thereafter, founding guitarist Mike Turner left the band due to creative differences, and Michigan native Steve Mazur stepped in to replace him.

With Mazur on board, Our Lady Peace worked alongside producer Bob Rock to carve out a commercial, mainstream-minded sound for 2002's Gravity. Maida's falsetto range was absent from the album, a change that shocked some longtime fans of the band. Nevertheless, Gravity's polished track list spawned several international singles, most notably "Somewhere Out There" and "Innocent." The band toured throughout Canada and the U.S. in support of such hits, and the jaunt was documented by a concert album (Live from Calgary and Edmonton) and a live DVD. Our Lady Peace then returned to the studio with Bob Rock, intending to reprise their fruitful partnership with another album. Recording sessions proved to be difficult this time around, however, and the group nearly disbanded in the process. Healthy in Paranoid Times was eventually released in late August 2005 and climbed to platinum status, although it failed to match the success of any previous OLP album. Raine Maida would later distance himself from the record, claiming that the band spent too much time filling the album with potential singles for American radio.

A Decade, a greatest-hits album celebrating the first ten years of Our Lady Peace's career, returned the band to the upper reaches of the charts in 2006. The compilation went platinum in America and, like 1997's Clumsy, earned a diamond certification in Canada. Two years later, Our Lady Peace received another surge in popularity, this one coming from an unlikely source: the American television show American Idol. Contestant David Cook was evidently a loyal fan of the band, and he enthusiastically promoted OLP's music during the competition. Cook eventually won the show, and Maida briefly decamped to America to collaborate with the burgeoning musician on his platinum-selling debut. Maida returned his focus to Our Lady Peace shortly thereafter, however, and the band issued Burn Burn, in 2009. The band's eighth studio album found the alt-rockers broadening their horizons, offering up a nine-song set that Maida described as "more experimental and ambitious" than any of their previous outings. The resulting Curve, which was preceded by the first single, "Heavyweights," arrived in spring 2012. ~ John Bush & Andrew Leahey, Rovi

Our Lady Peace (sometimes shortened to OLP[1][2]) is an alternative rock band that formed in Toronto, Canada in 1992.[3] Headed by lead vocalist Raine Maida since its formation, the band additionally consists of Jeremy Taggart on percussion, Duncan Coutts on bass, and Steve Mazur as lead guitarist. The band has sold millions of albums worldwide,[4] won four Juno Awards, and won ten MuchMusic Video Awards — the most MMVAs ever awarded to any artist or group.[5]

OLP has released eight studio albums, one live album, and two compilation albums to date, with their 1997 album Clumsy often being considered their signature and most widely recognized work.[6] They have enjoyed many hit singles, ranging from "Starseed" in 1994, to "Somewhere Out There" in 2002.

The band's earlier albums are often praised for their distinctly unique sound and style, with lead singer Maida being called "erratic" and "truly unrivaled"[7] as a vocalist. Their fifth album, Gravity (2002), is sometimes noted to have been a "radical departure"[8] from this distinctive style. Lead singer Maida has confirmed the difference, calling Gravity "vastly different" from their previous records.[9] The coincidental 2001 departures of both co-founding member Mike Turner and longtime-producer Arnold Lanni, in combination with influence from then-new producer Bob Rock,[10] are sometimes credited as main factors in the style evolution.

After nearly breaking up during the recording of their sixth studio album Healthy in Paranoid Times in 2005,[4] the band took a prolonged hiatus before releasing their seventh album, Burn Burn, in July 2009.[11][12] In 2010, the band completed a North American tour featuring both their 1997 album Clumsy and their 2000 album Spiritual Machines in entirety,[13] and also began work on their eighth album, Curve, which was released on April 3, 2012.[14][15][16][17] Curve's first single, "Heavyweight", was released in advance of the album on December 20, 2011.[18]

History

Raine Maida co-founded the band with Mike Turner in 1992

Formative years (1991–1993)

In late 1991, guitarist Mike Turner placed an ad in Toronto-based Now Magazine in search of musicians. Michael Maida, a criminology student at the University of Toronto,[19] was the first to reply. The two formed a band called As If, inviting Jim Newell as drummer and a friend of Turner's, Paul Martin, to play bass. After they played a number of gigs in Oshawa with sets containing a mix of original and cover material, Martin departed soon after, and the band placed an ad for a replacement bassist. Chris Eacrett, a business student at Ryerson University, replied and was accepted after an audition. During that time, Turner and Maida attended a music seminar where they met songwriter and producer Arnold Lanni, the owner of Arnyard Studios. The band, with Lanni, commenced writing new material and recorded some material under the As If name.

Soon thereafter, the band's name was changed to Our Lady Peace, after a Mark Van Doren poem of the same name. With encouragement from their producer Lanni and his management team, the band performed some gigs in Eastern Ontario and Montreal in conjunction with The Tea Party. It was during this time that Maida began using the stage name "Raine" instead of "Mike" to reduce confusion about having two Mikes in the band. He has used this name professionally ever since, legally adding it, even with Mike Turner having left the band.

Jeremy Taggart joined the band as drummer in April 1993[20]

An independent music video of the band's debut song "Out of Here" was created in February 1992 by Sam Siciliano, a film student and friend of Turner's, who produced, edited, and directed the video. The video was aired on MuchMusic on their Indie show. After returning to Arnyard Studios to continue writing and recording material, drummer Jim Newell departed the band. Writing and recording continued with session drummer John Bouvette.

With managers Rob Lanni and Eric Lawrence of Coalition Entertainment representing the band, short showcases were arranged with Warner Music Canada, EMI Canada, and Sony Music Canada. Sony Music Canada head of A&R Richard Zuckerman liked what he heard, and saw the potential of the band, its producer, and management. The band signed a record and publishing deal with Sony Music Canada in April 1993, and commenced writing for their debut album. Around the same time, then-17-year-old Jeremy Taggart joined the band as permanent drummer.

Early success (1994–2000)

After writing and recording over the next year or so, OLP released its debut album, Naveed, in March 1994 through Sony Music Canada. Following the release of the album, the band toured Canada, supporting acts I Mother Earth and 54-40. Naveed was later picked up and released in the United States in March 1995 by a Sony Music indie label, Relativity Records, after which the band toured as the opening act for Van Halen's Balance summer tour and opened shows for Page & Plant. Touring of the album resumed in 1996 with time spent touring with Canadian artist Alanis Morissette. The title track of the album, "Naveed", became a hit in Canada, while "Starseed" became a hit in Canada and also charted in the United States. "Starseed" would later be added on the Armageddon film soundtrack.

In early 1997, Our Lady Peace was offered and accepted an American signing with Columbia Records, expanding their horizons within Sony Music. After touring the album Naveed, the band began work on their second studio album. As the writing process ensued, bassist Chris Eacrett left the band due to musical differences. Duncan Coutts, a Ridley College alumnus and former classmate of Raine Maida, joined the band as bassist during the recording of OLP's second album.

Our Lady Peace's second album, Clumsy, was released in January 1997. Album singles "Superman's Dead" and "Clumsy" found immense success especially in Canada. Clumsy established Our Lady Peace as a leading band in the Canadian rock scene. The album cover is based on an abandoned song called "Trapeze", which was initially intended to be the title of the album. In February 2001, Clumsy became a diamond-certified album in Canada. After Clumsy's release, the band founded the Summersault festival that toured across Canada in 1998 and again in 2000, with lineups that included the Foo Fighters, A Perfect Circle and The Smashing Pumpkins.

In 1999 the band released their third album titled Happiness...Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch. The album included such hits as "Thief", a song about a young girl named Mina Kim that the band met who had cancer, as well as "One Man Army" and "Is Anybody Home?". Legendary jazz drummer Elvin Jones was featured on the song "Stealing Babies". Multi-instrumentalist Jamie Edwards was brought in 1996 for the sessions for the album and remained an unofficial member of the band until 2001 when he was asked to officially join the band to finish the album Gravity. Shortly after the completion of the record, Jamie chose to leave the band, returning briefly to stand in for Mike Eisenstein during the Canadian tour of Gravity. The band also played an eleven song set at Woodstock 1999.

The exact circumstances surrounding former lead guitarist Mike Turner's 2001 departure are disputed

In 2000, the band released Spiritual Machines, a concept album inspired by Ray Kurzweil's book The Age of Spiritual Machines. During the recording of the album, drummer Jeremy Taggart was sidelined with an ankle injury; Matt Cameron, Pearl Jam's drummer and then-former member of Soundgarden, played drums on "Right Behind You (Mafia)" and "Are You Sad?" in his place. The album featured the singles "In Repair", "Life" and "Right Behind You (Mafia)". "Life" was also featured in the soundtrack for the Canadian sports comedy film Men with Brooms. Spiritual Machines was less commercially successful than its predecessors.

Line-up and stylistic changes (2001–2005)

By the early 2000s, the band was becoming restless, feeling a "numbness" with their popularity as well as the "over-saturation" of their songs on Canadian radio, which resulted in them almost breaking up after completing their Spiritual Machines tour.[21][22]

In December 2001, having dropped original producer Arnold Lanni, the band met with new producer Bob Rock to start work on their fifth album. Later that month, founding guitarist Mike Turner either quit the band[23][24][25] or was forced out due to the other members' concerns about his guitar-playing abilities.[26] Said Maida of Turner's departure, "The last two records we've been yearning for a guitar player that can really stand up and have a strong voice and Mike (Turner) just wasn't that kind of guitar player."[22] Turner later formed the band Fair Ground with Harem Scarem guitarist Pete Lesperance and later joined the band Crash Karma. Turner's last performance with the band was for Music Without Borders at Toronto's Air Canada Centre on October 21, 2001.[27] In the months following Turner's departure, the band held auditions for a replacement lead guitarist. Steve Mazur, a friend of a friend of drummer Jeremy Taggart, was announced as the new guitarist in April 2002. Long-time touring musician Jamie Edwards also became an official band member around this time, but later left that year for personal reasons.

In the following few months their fifth album, Gravity, was completed and released.[28] The album received mixed reviews, with some critics and fans contending that the album was a significant departure from the band's original musical style, adopting a more mainstream sound and lacking any creativity.[29] Maida's signature nasal falsetto vocal technique was also absent from the album.[29] Maida said that the album was "pretty much the opposite of Spiritual Machines," calling it their "most basic album" since Naveed.[21] Gravity's chart-topping first single, "Somewhere Out There", became the band's biggest international hit to date, while the second single, "Innocent", was also very popular and regained popularity in 2008 after a cover performance on American Idol. In between their fifth and sixth albums, OLP released their first live album, titled simply Live, which contains a selection of the band's hits from their first five albums as played throughout tours in various Canadian cities.

In August 2005, the band released their sixth album Healthy in Paranoid Times, which included the tracks "Angels/Losing/Sleep", "Will the Future Blame Us", and "Where Are You?" Shortly after recording the album, the band disclosed that during the making of the album, they nearly broke up.[4] According to Rolling Stone, it took 1165 days to create it, and its twelve tracks were chosen from forty-five that the band had written and produced. Maida has since criticized Healthy in Paranoid Times, saying that "(the) record was total excess, total bullshit in the sense of, we finally had succumbed to a label: making us record that many songs, trying to find the right singles for American radio and MTV."[10]

Compilations, hiatus, and Burn Burn (2006–2009)

In November 2006, Columbia Records released a greatest hits compilation titled A Decade following the band's departure from the label. There were two previously unreleased songs on the album, "Kiss On The Mouth" and "Better Than Here". Steve Mazur wrote in a blog on the band's fan club that the new songs on the disc were two unreleased songs from the Healthy in Paranoid Times sessions. The collection also included a bonus DVD containing live concert footage and exclusive interviews at the Massey Hall concert. The single "Kiss On The Mouth", the first off A Decade, has received play on radio stations across Canada.

On March 31, 2009, Legacy Recordings released OLP's second compilation album, The Very Best of Our Lady Peace as part of the Playlist series.[30] The album includes famed singles such as "Naveed" and "Somewhere Out There", as well as lesser-known songs such as "Car Crash" and "Stealing Babies".[30]

After the release of their 2006 compilation album, A Decade, the band entered a short hiatus period after having parted ways with Columbia Records. Lead vocalist Raine Maida began work on his first solo album, The Hunter's Lullaby, which was released in 2007, while the remaining members of the band also became preoccupied with other personal endeavors. The hiatus would result in the longest time gap between OLP studio albums to date.

The band began working on Burn Burn, their seventh studio album, in February 2007, completing it in March 2009. Raine Maida called the new album "huge", and noted it as being a "proper rock album again"—featuring a return to the raw originality of the band's first album Naveed, though a "little more mature".[31] Maida solely produced the album, noting his excitement over "not (having had) anybody intrude on (recording) sessions".[31] The album was released in North America on July 21, 2009 to mixed reviews and later receiving Gold status in Canada.[11] The band toured to promote Burn Burn and made stops in several cities across North America from July through December 2009.[32]

Recreation tour and Curve (2010–present)

In December 2009, the band announced that they would be "recreating"[13] both their 1997 album Clumsy and their 2000 album Spiritual Machines by performing them live in their entireties[13][33] throughout a new tour that ran from March–May 2010.[13] The tour spanned Canada and select U.S. cities.[13]

Our Lady Peace's eighth studio album, Curve, began production in January 2010 and was released April 3, 2012.[13][14][15][34] The album's first single, "Heavyweight", was released on December 20, 2011. In a March 2010 interview, lead singer Raine Maida noted that after having gone back to re-learn songs from Spiritual Machines and Clumsy in preparation for their tour, he was "brought back to the great things about this band". He added that fans — especially those who are particularly fond of the pre-Gravity albums — should expect to see "a lot of stuff (from pre-Gravity albums) creeping its way back into our music".[9] The band have released a new song titled "Fight the Good Fight" in reaction to the "Occupy Wall Street" events taking place across North America. This track will appear on the upcoming "Occupy This Album."

Style and themes

In the band's early years and especially in Naveed, Our Lady Peace's overall sound was often compared to alternative rock bands including Soundgarden, The Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam.[7] The band's melodic structure was also said to echo that of bands such as The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.[7]

Lead singer Raine Maida's voice was called "erratic", and "truly unrivaled" in his field.[7] In albums Naveed through Spiritual Machines, Maida sang in a countertenor vocal register and was known for his frequent use of falsetto. This singing method, in combination with the band's melody structure, often gave many songs a surreal sound and effect.
