In April, Canada's Our Lady Peace will release their 8th studio album Curve and their first single off of it, "Heavyweight", has a modest music video put together. Perhaps more important, is their upcoming tour which kicks off in about a month starting in (and returning to midway through) Ontario and closing in Seattle. We'll include the dates below, but for now let's get back to "Heavyweight", the video for which, appropriately, puts the lyrics over boxing footage. As videos go, it's quite simple, but then Our Lady Peace have never challenged what a music video can do. Their other recent video, put out in October of last year, focused on the Occupy Wall Street movement (and the others that popped up around the country after that). Footage of protestors is a great background for "Fight the Good Fight", and it's considerably catchier than "Heavyweight", but again it's not the kind of huge undertaking some artists put into their videos. Notice that both don't have the band's presence anywhere in them. Maybe that's because they prefer to expend their energy elsewhere. Take a look at those two videos below.
And here's "Fight the Good Fight"...
