Our Lady Peace came together in Toronto in 1992 around Raine Maida, the singer who has fronted every version of the band since, with Mike Turner on guitar, Chris Eacrett on bass and, from 1993, Jeremy Taggart on drums. Maida's voice was the hook before any riff was: a keening, cracking, slightly unhinged instrument that seemed to live somewhere between a yelp and a prayer, riding high over the heavy, churning guitars of mid-'90s alternative rock.

Naveed, the 1994 debut, went 4 times platinum at home, and "Starseed" carried them across the border into the top 10 of both the US mainstream and alternative rock charts. Duncan Coutts took over on bass in 1995, and in 1997 Clumsy became the album people mean when they say Our Lady Peace: number one in Canada, certified Diamond there and platinum in the US, with "Superman's Dead" leading the way and the title track topping the Canadian singles chart. Happiness… Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch went to number one at home in 1999 too, with "One Man Army" and "Is Anybody Home?" riding high on Canada's alternative rock chart.

Spiritual Machines followed in 2000, Turner left in 2001, and with Steve Mazur on guitar from 2002, Gravity swerved hard away from the band's trademark sound, as Maida himself admitted. America liked the change: Gravity became their best-charting album there, while "Somewhere Out There" and "Innocent" went to number one and number two on the Canadian singles chart. Healthy in Paranoid Times followed in 2005, Taggart left in 2014, Jason Pierce took the drum stool in 2016, and in 2021 they returned to an old idea with Spiritual Machines 2.

Along the way they collected 4 Juno Awards, including Group of the Year in 1998, and 10 MuchMusic Video Awards, a haul no band has topped, though Billy Talent matched it. On the countdowns, "Superman's Dead" and "Clumsy" are still the ones listeners reach for first.
