Grand Rapids MI, United States (1991 – present)

The Verve Pipe is an band from Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was formed in 1991 by Brian Vander Ark and Brad Vander Ark, Doug Corolla, AJ Dunning, and Donny Brown, releasing their first album, I’ve Suffered A Head Injury later that year. They released a second album Pop Smear helping to gain a devoted following in their native state of Michigan, which led to signing with RCA Records in 1995.

Their first major label release was 1996’s Villains, which was a minor hit and launched two respectably-selling singles, first Photograph then the #1 hit The Freshmen. They came back with The Verve Pipe in 1999, Underneath in 2001, and most recently The Family Album in 2009.

Despite the similarity in name to the band The Verve, there is no relation between the two.


Current lineup (2008–present)

* Brian Vander Ark – lead vocals, guitars
* Donny Brown – drums, background vocals
* Doug Corella – keyboards, percussion
* AJ Dunning – guitars, background vocals
* John Connors – bass, background vocals
* Joel Ferguson – bass, background vocals
* Lou Musa - guitars, background vocals


In 1992, working with producer/engineer Jon Frazer, they released their first album, I’ve Suffered a Head Injury, which featured an acoustic version of the band’s calling-card hit, “The Freshmen.”

The original 10-song version of the CD is no longer available. A 7-song version, without the original recording of “The Freshmen” and two songs written by Stout, was later released as an EP.
