Considered one of the most influential, innovative and spellbinding bands from Britain, The Verve recently performed at 2008's Coachella and sold-out two nights at The Theatre @ Madison Square Garden. The Verve consists of Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe, Simon Jones and Pete Salisbury.

Fusing psychedelia with majesticarrangements and wickedly smart lyrics, The Verve's new album embraces a keen melodic sensibility. The Verve have a dozen summer festival dates on tap, including a co-headlining slot at Glastonbury Festival on June 29.

They may be sick of it, but they do know it's one of those great, timeless songs. I saw Ashcroft open for Coldplay a few years back and he closed his set with "Bittersweet". The Verve probably curse the fame and attention that came from that song, both positive and negative...but every time I see Ashcroft, whether it's "Live 8" or "Live from Abbey Road Studios", he's still kickin' new life into "Bittersweet".

hells yeah! one of my favorite brit-rock bands putting out a new album! this is good news. for those not too familiar with them, check out 1995's A Northern Soul. it was reportedly written and recorded entirely under the influence of MDMA. regardless of whether it was or wasn't its a damn good album from a damn good band. my name here on jambase (the drugs dont work) is the name of a song from their 1997 album urban hymns, another fantastic album. cant wait for this one!!!

The Verve are gonna PANIC when they hear Widespread opening up for them in 2009. It'll be an expensive tour. Widespread Panic is icing on the cake with powerhouse material!!!!

The Verve is so respected but one of those evasive bands. Very cool stuff. The Verve are actually very psychedelic. I saw them at MSG in New York in April. There were more dope smokers and such than a Phish show. The band did a lot of extended jams. I guess they are sort of a jamband live, but studio stuff is more Coldplay.
