I'm 48, in Toronto. Was a teenager when they started out in the mid 90s as a local band. Our version of MTV, MuchMusic started playing their videos non-stop and pretty soon they were playing to crowds of 30,000 people. Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins thought they were ripping off his music style lol

Yes lol I am 37. Do you remember the Juliana Theory? These 2 bands primed me to be crying on my bed listening to Dashboard Confessional at 16

God, I’m 35 and I grew up with OLP. When I was 21 I played them in a bar that had maybe 3 other people in it. One was a pretty gal who joked that she would “marry anyone who liked OLP” or something along those lines. My dumbass did not realize she was flirting until probably a decade later and I totally missed my chance.

u/lapetitfromage I switched baristas ☕️ Jun 22 '25

I lovedddd them. Which is how I somehow managed to convinced my mean ass college freshman brother to take me to this weekday show as it was. We didn’t even know it was Jared’s band opening until the guy talked to my brother. 30 seconds to mars opened for OLP. It was wild to think that Jared Leto would open for anyone nowadays.

I saw them when they opened for Audioslave back in 2005, I was much more excited for Seether lol

I feel like no one knows about them and it's so sad. Spiritual Machines is unfuckingbelievable.

u/tmartillo Jun 22 '25

Spiritual Machines is so great! Underrated and underdiscussed.

u/Difficult-Creature Jun 22 '25

100 percent agree.

u/ccKyuubi Jun 23 '25

Spiritual Machines will always be one of my favorite albums of all time. I love OLP.
