The Verve

The Verve’s defiant festival comeback at Glastonbury this summer “delighted old fans and surprised some who thought they weren’t up to the challenge of their Pyramid Stage headline slot,” said the Guardian.
If the past couple of years have taught us anything about old rock bands, it’s that they never die - they simply put aside those musical differences and mount a comeback with fingers crossed.
The Verve, to their credit, have done it better than most. And now they’re about to return with a brand new single, Love Is Noise, and a new album called Forth.
Back in the late ’90s, The Verve were the consummate acid rock act, their classic album Urban Hymns eliciting almost universal praise and selling four million copies worldwide.
“The Verve turned an old Stones riff [used for Bitter Sweet Symphony] into great theatre, a swelling, swaggering pop treaty on heroic determination,” said Rolling Stone at the time.
“Urban Hymns is a defiantly psychedelic record about coping and crashing.”
To celebrate what’s set to be a triumphant return, Vision MUSIC is featuring some of their finest videos this month, including the hit singles The Drugs Don’t Work, History, Lucky Man and, of course, Bitter Sweet Symphony.
Also featured is new single Love Is Noise - the video resting on Richard Ashcroft’s face which, more than ever these days, looks like it has been carved out of rock.
They’re still the finest cheekbones in the business.
