	The Verve
		The Verve, from Wigan in Lancashire, were formed in 1990.The band's line-up was originally Richard Ashcroft (vocals, guitar), Nick McCabe (guitar), Simon Jones (bass) and Peter Salisbury (drums).
		For all Verve's charisma, however, they proved too elusive and, quite rightly, engrossed in their own ideals to be caught up in the music business fame machine.
		These were to be the last releases from The Verve for almost two years as the band split after their performance at the T In The Park festival in Glasgow.

	The Verve
		Verve was a British band who emerged in the early 90's with a totally unique, spacy sound, perhaps slightly resembling Syd Barret era Pink Floyd.
		Verve (as they were then known) unleased their debut to an unsuspecting world in 1993, and, gasp, not that many people noticed, despite praise from critics and the support of a small, but unbelievably loyal group of fans, who, to this day, swear by this album and tell stories of how it changed their lives.
		But this was a different Verve, and for proof, one just has to check the credits, with nine of the album's 13 tracks being written by Ashcroft, who leans much more to the catchy, poppy side of music more than the rest of the band.

	The Verve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Verve (formerly Verve) were an English rock band of the 1990s, originally formed at Winstanley Sixth Form College, near Billinge, near Wigan in Lancashire by vocalist Richard Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bassist Simon Jones and drummer Peter Salisbury in 1989; Simon Tong later became a member.
		The tour was disastrous for the group as Ashcroft was hospitalised for dehydration caused by overdosing with Ecstasy, and Salisbury was arrested for destroying a hotel room in Kansas.
		By the time Oasis were supporting some Verve shows during A Storm in Heaven period, Richard, Noel and Nick performed an impromptu a capella version of She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain with Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs on spoons, after a power-cut in Glasgow.

		Originally known simply as Verve, the group was formed in the small Northern English city of Wigan in 1989.
		While Verve's long, liquid jams found favor on the British indie charts, pop radio looked the other way -- their majestic debut LP, 1993's A Storm in Heaven, was a critical smash, but the good reviews failed to translate into strong record sales.
		The following summer, Verve appeared on the second stage at Lollapalooza, a tour tempered by a string of disasters -- not only was Salisbury arrested for destroying a Kansas hotel room, but Ashcroft was also hospitalized after suffering from severe dehydration.

	The Verve - Urban Hymns
		Luckily however, the Verve also happen to be damn fine artists.
		Each song on the album walks the line between bombast and simplicity; the band's rock star attitude pushing them towards sonic overload, their artistic sensibility reeling them back towards the heart of the song.
		The willingness to take that risk is a key ingredient in the Verve's passion, but on Urban Hymns, the band has chosen a musical path that not only reaches its transcendent destination each time, but manages to leave memorable melodic signposts along the way.

		The Verve was a modern British pop band with a tinge of psychedelia and more than a bit of melancholy.
		They were, as their biggest commercial hit so aptly puts it, a "bittersweet symphony." Their music does emit a certain energetic quality supported by strong, echoing guitars.
		The Verve finally found widespread recognition with 1997’s “Urban Hymns.” The catchy single “Bittersweet Symphony” (made from a loop of a symphonic Rolling Stone sample) established The Verve as a British pop mainstay.

		Not long after the release of A Northern Soul, the Verve imploded due to friction between vocalist Richard Ashcroft and guitarist Nick McCabe.
		The Verve have toned down their trancy, psychedelic excursions, yet haven't abandoned them -- if anything, they sound more muscular than before, whether it's the trippy "Catching the Butterfly" or the pounding "Come On." These powerful, guitar-drenched rockers provide the context for Ashcroft's affecting, string-laden ballads, which give Urban Hymns its hurt.
		It is the album the Verve have been striving to make since their formation, and it turns out to be worth all the wait.

		Calling it a day in early 1999 was probably the best thing the Verve ever did, as it meant that they quit when they were at the pinnacle of their success, sparing their faithful followers an unsightly degeneration.
		Urban Hymns is a fitting final testament to Wigan's favourite sons, as Richard Ashcroft and Nick McCabe temporarily buried the hatchet and reformed one of Britain's greatest songwriting partnerships since Lennon and McCartney.
		It has another beautiful acoustic melody, but The Verve are so good at adding depth to their songs, this is them at their best.

		The Verve at this stage - if you were one of their very few fans, made you believe, simple as that.
		The Verve and Oasis had something of a mutual admiration society going on, so Owen got the call to help The Verve nail down their musical vision a bit better than they'd accomplished on the still entertaining 'A Storm In Heaven'.
		I saw the verve in '92 and they were great, their first few eps were brilliant, All In the Mind and Man called Sun especially.

		That's life mate." Then it was probably The Verve's Richard Ashcroft, busy filming the iconic vid to the band's baroque masterpiece, Bittersweet Symphony.
		The track and resulting album, Urban Hymns, established the band as the premier British rock act in 1997, knocking Oasis off their perch (with that year's turgid, overblown 'Be Here Now 'album).
		The band, formally known as simply, Verve, were also forced to add a 'The' onto their name following a threatened lawsuit from the jazz label of the same name.

	Ink 19 :: The Verve Pipe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		To the ears of any more-than- casual fan of the eclectic rock band The Verve Pipe, their massive hit ballad, "The Freshman," (released as a single in 1997) was hardly indicative of the brooding, prog-influenced, somewhat psychedelic tunes found on Villains, the 1996 album from which it was pulled and re-recorded.
		On the phone from his home in Michigan, Verve Pipe vocalist, Brian Vander Ark, sees both sides of a sticky situation.
		Other than the Gabriel comparisons, The Verve Pipe is rather elusive when it comes to drawing comparisons to other bands.
