Yahoo LAUNCHCAST Song Of The Day-Our Lady Peace

Artist:Our Lady Peace
Song:Superman's Dead
Album:Clumsy




The 1997 CD Clumsy was the breakthrough CD for the Canadian band Our Lady Peace. They're very popular in Canada and have had some success internationally. They started in 1992 at the University Of Toronto when guitarist Mike Turner (born June 5, 1963 in Bradford, England) was looking to form a band. He got together with Raine Maida (born Feb. 18, 1970 in Toronto). They attended a music seminar and met producer Arnold Lanni. He was a member of Sherriff & Frozen Ghost. He got them to play some gigs but hadn't settled on a set band yet. Bassist Chris Eacrett and drummer Jeremy Taggart joined and Our Lady Peace signed with Sony in 1995. Eacrett left after their debut album and was replaced by Duncan Coutts. Superman's Dead was the first single from their 1997 CD Clumsy and it established them internationally. They've continued to be very popular in Canada. For their fifth album Gravity in 2001, producer Bob Rock was brought in to give them a more polished sound. Mike Turner left and was replaced by Steve Mazur. Turner now owns a recording studio and production company. Some fans complained about the new direction but Gravity has been their most successful CD to date. Our Lady Peace took a break in 2006. Raine Maida released a solo CD in 2007. Their new CD Burn Burn is supposed to be released sometime this year. Maida produced the album. There are three videos for Superman's Dead by Our Lady Peace. This is the Canadian version.
