Heavyweights OUR LADY PEACE to release Curve domenica, 25 marzo 2012 18:58 by madseason
our lady peace

Canadian seminal alternative rock band Our Lady Peace will release its eight studio album "Curve" on April, 3rd.

The record, recorded from 2010 through 2012 at vocalist Raine Maida's home recording studio, includes first single "Heavyweight". Raine told AOL Music that this song was inspired by the struggle that both the boxer and the artist endure. He explained: "Over the years I have come to realize that musicians and boxers have a lot in common. There are strong emotional and physical similarities between the two.  The boxer skillfully relies on rhythm and improvisation  to control a fight.  An artist relies on  rhythm and improvisation to help guide

the listener. The Boxer uses footwork, punching combinations and tempo to attack and escape his opponent. The artist uses chord progressions, melody and tempo to help the listener escape. Either in the ring or onstage, both the fighter and artist put a piece of their soul on display in a fascinating struggle of determination and acceptance. It's a struggle for affirmation that their work and life force are worthwhile. This war is an age-old battle between ego and the sacred self. One designed to fight the other to heal.".

Alternative pop rockers Carolina Liar have just released a brand new video for the song "Me And You", off their second album "Wild Blessed Freedom".                  

The inspiration for the concept behind the video was found on the editing room floor. Frontman Chad Wolf explains "This video was born from cut away footage where we were all joking around at the video shoot. In the end we decided against another serious video, and used all the cut away footage to create the final version. It was us having fun and showcased our real personalities."
