Formed in 1992 by frontman Raine Maida and guitarist Mike Turner while the pair were studying at the University of Toronto, OLP quickly expanded to include bassist Chris Eacrett (since replaced by Duncan Coutts) and drummer Jeremy Taggart.

The band's first full-length album, Parachutes (Parlophone), made its debut last May at the top of the British charts, went on to sell more than 2 million copies, and is now available in the U.S. on the Nettwerk America label. It shared the warbling vocals and slow, stately beat of Radiohead's more conservative efforts, and comparisons between the two bands ran amuck...
...most surrounded musicians at the party appeared to be Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, who with his anti-Napster campaign has become almost as controversial as Eminem. He chatted easily and confidently, one of the few rockers equally at ease on C-Span...
