OUR
LADY PEACE “THE
END IS WHERE WE BEGIN” IMPACTING AT RADIO NOW
The album, which debuted at #41 on the Billboard “Top 200 Albums” chart, has already produced a hit single with "All You Did Was Save My Life," thanks to heavy rotation at four different formats: Alternative, Top 40, Triple A and Active. The video stars fellow Canadian, Shenae Grimes, of "90210" and "Degrassi: The Next Generation" fame. "The End Is Where We Begin" is the second single is now being serviced to radio and has recently been added to stations nationwide including KDGE/Dallas, KTBZ/Houston, WKRK/Cleveland, KRBZ/Kansas City, WPBZ/West Palm Beach and WGRD/Grand Rapids. A video for the song will make its premiere in the next couple of weeks. Primarily self-produced in lead singer Raine Maida’s Los Angeles home studio, BURN BURN 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.” BURN BURN is a triumphant return to what Maida terms “a proper, mature rock album,” steeped in the kind of raw intensity that drove their early material. Blinding rays of anthemic light make way to the tender poise and precision of a band that was looking for a way out and found a satisfying new way in. Our Lady
Peace's live show is as good as it's ever been and was on display
during July’s sold-out shows in New York City and Los Angeles
that had Billboard gushing, "OLP proved their readiness
as arena-worthy superstars during the opening night of the Canadian
act's U.S. tour.” The performance in Los Angeles left the
Troubadour none-too-pleased with the damage OLP incurred. Maida
victoriously climbed up to walls to the second floor during "All
You Did Was Save My Life," leaving a heap of destruction in
his wake. A fan caught the stunt on video and it can be seen on
YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrSVi5Ce_go). “…a
nice return to the soaring rock they made their name on. Lead singer
Raine Maida sounds more mature than ever - mostly forsaking his
once eye-popping falsetto - and brings a poetic touch to his tales
of everyday struggle and hope…Often praised for their energetic
live show, OLP keeps the anthemic tracks flowing with ‘The
End Is Where We Begin,’ ‘Escape Artist,’ ‘Refuge,’
and the blistering ‘White Flags.’ Check This Track Out:
‘Monkey Brains’ is a manic blast of energy that features
a - dare I say it - Iron Maiden-influenced effort by bassist Duncan
Coutts.” “Fingerprints of
the band's past are all over it, from the frantic basslines and
guitar blasts found on the eccentric ‘Monkey Brains’
to stripped-down rocker ‘White Flags’…the soaring,
piano-driven ‘Never Get Over You’ is proof that singer
Raine Maida can still write a killer ballad.” “…the slower
moments are anthemic rather than sappy and the fist-pumping rockers
are infused with righteousness and not mirth, with the two extremes
tied together with an earthbound spaciness that splits the difference
between U2 and Coldplay.” “…a bombastic
rock record…” Check out Our Lady Peace at any of the following stops:
