Biography
East Lansing MI, United States (1991 – present)
Despite the similarity in name to the british band The Verve, there is no relation between the two.
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.
The band, known for its energetic live performances, built strong followings during its early years, especially in the college towns of Kalamazoo and East Lansing.
In the fall of 1993, the band released a second album, Pop Smear again working with Frazer that helped them gain a devoted following in their native state of Michigan and their eventual signing with RCA Records in 1995. AJ Dunning replaced Stout on guitar for the recording of Pop Smear and remained in the band for their three RCA records. This album featured the popular tracks “
Spoonful Of Sugar” and “Victoria” among others. While Doug Corolla played on Pop Smear, he was not a full member of the band until 1994.

The Freshmen is utter songwriting perfection and for it alone, this band deserves all of the awards.

Villains is a pretty solid album; the songwriting is pretty kickass. But if you dislike them, fuck off.

Haha, not a grunge band, but they do have an unfortunate 2nd album name (Pop Smear) like a grunge band would have. Freshman has some powerful moments that still feel good today.

the verve pipe is great, of course, but brian vander ark's newer solo stuff is incredible! if you get a chance to see him perform solo you really should. it's beautiful, well written, and honest.
