Biographie de Our Lady Peace

Our Lady Peace (formed in 1992) is a successful Canadian alternative rock and post-grunge band hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

In 1992 vocalist Raine Maida along with British guitarist Mike Turner formed the band ‘As If’, and later enlisted the help of bassist Chris Eacrett and drummer Jeremy Taggard. Shortly after the band changed their name to Our Lady Peace as a result of a Mark Van Doren poem. In 1995 Our Lady Peace released their debut album “Naveed” on Sony Records Canada, the album spawned the instant hit “Starseed” and led to touring with Canadian singer Alanis Morissette that summer.

The success of their follow-up album could not possibly have been expected. “Clumsy” which arrived in 1997, featured Maida’s unique falsetto vocals and Duncan Coutts replacing Eacrett on bass. The album went platinum in the U.S. and a surprising diamond certification in Canada. Our Lady Peace’s two subsequent albums “Happiness Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch” in 1999 and “Spiritual Machines” in 2011 presented lighter and more positive themes, after which guitarist Mike Turner departed with Steve Mazur taking tenure.

Our Lady Peace, despite their perceived over-saturation on Canadian radio, released a mainstream sounding fifth album “Gravity” in 2002. “Gravity” featured none of the falsetto vocals fans were used to and all highly-polished commercial tracks that proved successful internationally. With unrest blossoming with the band’s sound, Our Lady Peace released “Healthy in Paranoid Times” in August 2005 which despite being their least successful album still achieved platinum status in Canada.

Since then Our Lady Peace has released the more experimental “Burn Burn” in July 2009 and “Curve” in April 2012, as well as the hugely popular greatest hits compilation “A Decade” in 2006. The compilation saw the band hit the upper echelons of the charts once again and earned a diamond certification.

Avis

Despite having reached the peak of their success in the late 90s, loyal fans of Canadian rockers Our Lady Peace have convinced the band into a steady stream of live performance which, over the years, still never fail to disappoint.
Our Lady Peace exudes the presence of a characteristically 90’s rock band on stage, coming full force with their guitar riffs and heavy drumming. Lead vocalist Raine Maida’s expressive face and characteristic stare penetrates the crowd, and you’ll be lucky to hear anything over the sound of fans singing along to some of their biggest hits. While they have eight studio albums under their belt, a show without some of their greatest hits just wouldn’t be the same: Superman’s Dead, Naveed, Clumsy and Somewhere Out There are never off the table. Even their angsty hits Innocent and Life almost always find their way onto their live sets. After more than twenty years together, the boys from Our Lady Peace are especially loyal to their Canadian fans, where they continue to tour and perform rock festivals and one-off gigs all across the country. Although the band has suffered a hit with the recent departure of long-time drummer Jeremy Taggart, that hasn’t broken the resolve of Our Lady Peace to please their biggest fans onstage.
