[Sunting] 1990s

Our Lady Peace telah diasaskan pada tahun 1992 apabila Mike Turner meletakkan iklan "ahli muzik dikehendaki" dalam satu surat khabar Toronto. Orang pertama yang memberi respons adalah Michael (Raine) Maida, seorang pelajar kriminologi Universiti Toronto. Kemudian, Jeremy Taggart yang berusia 17 tahun dan Chris Eacrett menyertai kumpulan tersebut. Eacrett left in 1995, replaced by Duncan Coutts. Turner left in 2001, replaced by Steve Mazur. Jamie Edwards, a keyboardist, would join in 1996 and leave in 2002, shortly after Turner left.

Our Lady Peace first won recognition with their debut album Naveed, released in Canada in 1994 and the United States in 1995. "Naveed" became a hit in Canada and "Starseed" a hit in Canada and the United States. ("Starseed" would later appear on the Armageddon film soundtrack.) Their second album, Clumsy, released in 1997 and including the tracks "Clumsy," an instant hit around the suburban landscape, "4 AM," a more morose song about not appreciating the good things in life including family, "Superman's Dead," a song about being alone in a world without relying on a hero, "Carnival" and "Automatic Flowers", established OLP as a leading band in 1990s rock music in Canada, and a notable group internationally. 1999 saw the arguably most popular release to date, the album entitled Happiness...Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch, featuring "One Man Army", "Thief", a song centered around a young girl the band met who had a cancerous tumor, and "Is Anybody Home?". The music of Our Lady Peace explored often deep intellectual and emotional themes with powerful orchestration and the unique singing voice of lead vocalist Maida, called "strange" and "paranoid".

In 2000, the band released Spiritual Machines, a concept album inspired by Ray Kurzweil's The Age of Spiritual Machines, and featuring "In Repair", "Life" and "Right Behind You (Mafia)".

In December of 2001, Mike Turner left the band citing creative and musical differences. In April of 2002, Steve Mazur was announced as the new guitarist for the band.

In the early 2000s, some critics contended that the band's new music changed, adopting an increasingly mainstream sound, with Maida's voice perhaps losing its "paranoid" edge. Critics of the band's fifth album, Gravity, called it "overproduced" and "too mainstream". Its first single, "Somewhere Out There", became the band's chart-topping international hit to date.

In 2005, the band released their sixth album, Healthy in Paranoid Times. The band disclosed that during the making of this album, they nearly broke up.

The band's song "Whatever" is used as the entrance of professional wrestler Chris Benoit.

The group took part at the Canadian Live 8 concert in Barrie, ON on July 2nd, 2005.

At a November 2005 concert at Massey Hall, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, it was announced that the concert would be filmed for the purpose of creating a DVD. This DVD rumoured to be released in 2006. Content, such as pre- and post-concert interviews, and photos, can be found at Rogers.com/OLP.
