In 1991, guitarist Mike Turner placed an ad for musicians, and Michael (Raine) Maida answered it. The two formed the band As If, and the duo recorded some material under that band's name. The group's name was changed to Our Lady Peace as the band toured around Eastern Ontario and Quebec. Out of Here caught the attention of producers from the MuchMusic Indie show, and the band signed a record contract with Sony Music Canada in 1993. Our Lady Peace released the album,
Naveed

Van Halen
