Genre: Rock
Our Lady Peace is a Canadian alternative rock band that formed in Toronto, Canada in 1992. Widely recognized by its abbreviation OLP, the band currently consists of members Raine Maida, Duncan Coutts, Jeremy Taggart and Steve Mazur. Throughout their career, the band has sold over five million albums worldwide, won four Juno Awards, and won ten MuchMusic Video Awards—the most MMVAs ever awarded to any artist or group.
OLP has released six studio albums, one live album, and two compilation albums, with their 1997 album Clumsy often being considered their signature and most widely recognized work to date. They have enjoyed many hit singles, ranging from "Starseed" in 1994, to "Somewhere Out There" in 2002.
While the band's first four albums have been praised for their unique sound and style, their two most recent studio albums — Gravity and Healthy in Paranoid Times — are sometimes believed to have been a "radical departure" from their distinctive style of music, and have been criticized as being "too mainstream" or "uninspired". The 2001 departures of both founding member Mike Turner and longtime-producer Arnold Lanni in combination with influence from then-new producer Bob Rock is often credited as a main factor in the style change.
