The Verve

The Verve was an English alternative rock band formed by lead vocalist Richard Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bass guitarist Simon Jones and drummer Peter Salisbury. By the mid-1990s the band had released several EPs and three albums. It also endured name and line-up changes, breakups, health problems, drug abuse and various lawsuits.

The band's commercial breakthrough was the 1997 album Urban Hymns, one of the best-selling albums in UK Chart history, and the single "Bitter Sweet Symphony", which became a worldwide hit. In 1998, the band won two Brit Awards including Best British Group and "Bitter Sweet Symphony" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.

The Verve broke up in April 1999, but reunited in June 2007, embarking on a tour later that year and releasing the album Forth in August 2008. In 2009, the band broke up for the third time.

The Verve has released four studio albums, one compilation album, three EPs and fourteen singles. {| border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%;"
