Label GB

The Verve were an English rock band that formed in Wigan in 1990. The core members of the group were Richard Ashcroft on vocals, Nick McCabe on guitar, Simon Jones on bass, and Peter Salisbury on drums. They later added Simon Tong as a second guitarist for their album "Urban Hymns." Originally known as Verve, they changed their name to The Verve in 1994 after a dispute with a jazz label also named Verve.

Their early material was influenced by My Bloody Valentine and featured guitar-based soundscapes. However, they would later transition into a more conventional alternative rock sound. In April 1999, The Verve announced their disbandment but reunited eight years later to record a new album and resume touring.

the verve are back! one of the biggest selling and most influential bands of the last ten years have reformed and recorded an album of new material. after the sucess of 'urban hymns', which to date has sold 3 million copies in the uk, 'forth' is a true return to form, and the first single 'love is noise' has become a festival anthem this summer. the song sits is between the orchestral swell of 'urban hymns' and the psychedelic acid-rock of 'a northern soul'. the focal point is ashcroft's vocal - now deeper and coarser with age - snarls with more passionate than their decade-old last album could ever offer, while the rest of the band dauble with a steady drum beat, a strange but hypnotic sampled vocal and the faint hint of strings. the cd single comes backed with exclusive b-side 'chic dub'.
