The Verve (originally Verve) is an English alternative rock band. The band were formed in 1989 at Winstanley College, Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, by vocalist Richard Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bassist Simon Jones and drummer Peter Salisbury. Simon Tong later became a member. The band split in April 1999, but announced in June 2007 that they have reunited.

Beginning with a psychedelic sound indebted to space rock and shoegazer music, by the mid-1990s the band had released several EPs and two acclaimed records. They also endured name and lineup changes, breakups, health problems, drug abuse and various lawsuits. The band’s commercial breakthrough was Urban Hymns and it’s single “Bittersweet Symphony”, which became a massive worldwide hit.

Soon after this commercial peak, the band quit amid creative struggles within, and Ashcroft went onto a successful solo career. Tong briefly joined Blur as a replacement for Graham Coxon.

The Verve were chosen to close the 2008 Glastonbury festival which they did with a set based on the classic 1997 album ‘Urban Hymns’, proving they had lost none of their touch over the years. (read more)
