Recent pic posted on OLP instagram asked "who's ready for new OLP music this year".....even though we know there time lines are skewed this does excite me

Raine and Steve did a [url]Raine and Steve did a Facebook ama earlier: https://www.facebook.com/ourladypeace/v ... 938052238/. New song at around 17:04 called "Been Meaning to Call" or "Matters of The Heart" and another one at 28:09 that we heard the last time (still no title).

Been Meaning to Call sounds really awesome and has a space kind of vibe!

Other than that they showed some new shirt designs, talked about the tour, answered some random questions (I may have missed something since they talk low).

That second song is sick. Can't wait to see them again in October

listened to the new stuff... eh it was okay. doesn't feel challenging though.

does anyone else feel like they're growing out of OLP? no offense to the older people who are still hardcore fans, but overall they just don't do it for me like they used to when i was younger.... even the old stuff just doesn't hold up for me as much, except for a handful of songs across the first 4 albums. the 5-year hiatus we're dealing with now didn't help in that regard, but i've kinda moved onto other music and other bands/genres, and sorta realized that OLP's stuff isn't as great as i thought. this is not meant to offend anyone, and i'll still check in here for their new stuff to comment... but i almost feel like their music is just too generic and myopic for my tastes these days. the new stuff we just heard sealed that opinion for me. the lack of people around this forum nowadays seems to suggest others might feel similarly.

anyway, just my 2 cents. hope everyone enjoys the OLP/IME shows.

Nope, I don't feel that way. My musical tastes have definitely changed, I'm more into alternative pop than anything else right now, but I definitely still enjoy almost everything OLP have put out in the past. Their new stuff isn't my favorite, but I don't feel that I've grown out of them that way.

I think that the good old days are gone...i knew the guys in 2003 (then after the Mike and Lanni departures), with Whatever (that is the last studio song by Mike) and totally fell in love with their music and Whatever is totally different from OLP's "traditional style"...but i enjoy both new and old songs...maybe because i knew them after the "glory" of the first four albums.
As for the new music...i'm pretty happy to see that falsetto is fucking here...i know that Raine was bothered from the fact that people know him for falsetto and probably not for his overall talent (Trusty told something here a lot of time ago), but his falsetto is something that drives you in another world (at least for me)...musically speaking i can't judge from the clips...i like something but not everything...let's see what happen also if i think that a 2016 release is really really hard..

Here is an interesting interview from Steve http://pressrowsports.com/2016/09/03/la ... -eats-set/
Nice to see that 7-8 songs are recorded for the new record...then another few and probably the record will be done...at this point maybe we can hope in a 2017 release...also they talk about Jeremy but he doesn't tell anything about Jason as new drummer...really good interview

She's ok, but I'm not really into her. I'm big on Kimbra and Bishop Briggs right now.

[bd007h]

[myownsatellite]

Lemon Eyes, whatever the big hit she had was called. I just don't really like the way she sings.

[bd007h]

[myownsatellite]

Like I said, the way she sings is just not my style. I didn't say she's bad (she's not), she's just not someone I'm interested in.

[bd007h]

Different strokes for different folks I guess lol. I don't see anything wrong with her voice myself haha

[johnpeterson]

i listened to her, pretty decent. her voice is fine, definitely better than raine's has been lately lol

[bd007h]

[myownsatellite]

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. But I'm not sitting here insisting you like Kimbra or Bishop Briggs, am I? She's just not my thing. I shouldn't really have to defend that.

I got the same kind of comments when I said I didn't like Phoenix. "You aren't listening to the right songs!" "You have to give them a chance!" I never crapped on them or said they were bad, just that I didn't like them. Yes, different strokes and all that. But you don't need to try to convince me. I'm liking different things, and that's OK too.

Side note: I'm really not trying to be an asshole here.
