Are OLP finished?
Are OLP finished?
I have to wonder if we'll see OLP record a new album again. Their audiences seem to have dwindled considerably from the days of Clumsy/Gravity. Have they made any on-record comments about their plans?

They plan to get back together and work on another album this year. Probably won't spend 2 years making this one. I believe this will finish up their contract with Sony and according to Duncan after that the plans are to continue for a while as an independent band (the Duncan stuff was said off the record though).

But Raine is on tour....
On a related side note,
Does anyone expect any real commercial success from Raine's solo efforts?

I'm not seeing it in stores or anything...I don't see any kind of commercial attempt on his part either. Maybe if he did more than just an EP, put out a whole album, it might get more hype.

That's part of his plan. When I talked to him about his solo stuff almost a year ago he said he'd make it available via myspace, produce it on his own and sell it online and at shows, donate any proceeds to charity, etc. He's trying to sidestep much of the music industry crap that he's so tired of.

Apparently the whole album will be done soon.
