Our friends from the north! Hailing from Canada, signed to a big label in 1992 and releasing Naveed in 1993, OLP was primed for greatness. But no one knew how big they would get and how quickly.

Their second album Clumsy dropped it's first single in 1996. "Superman's Dead" took the alternative world by storm. Not as edgy and raw as their previous offering, OLP took a little something off their fastball and decided to make the move from a thrower to a pitcher, if we were to use baseball terms.

Don't get me wrong. I still rank "Starseed" as one of my favorite songs of all time. But "Superman's Dead" took their songwriting to a different level.

And everyone else agreed. The song peaked at #2 on the canadian alternative charts, but also at 11 on the US alt charts and 14 on the mainstream US rock chart. It was #75 in the US overall, and thats pretty impressive for a band that had barely charted on their debut album.
