Biography

Providence, RI, United States (2003 – 2009, 2011 – present)

Verse is a band from Providence, RI, United States. Forming in 2003 and going on to emerge in 2004, they have gained recognition for their own brand of passionate modern hardcore, covering issues such as depression, addiction and family decay. They originally split in February 2009 and later reformed in 2011 after a two year hiatus, with Sean Murphy stating that “it just clicked, made sense and is once again a very important part of our lives”. They released their comeback album, Bitter Clarity, Uncommon Grace on July 17, 2012.

VERSE is: Sean Murphy - Vocals, Eric Lepine - Guitar, Zak Drummond - Guitar, Chris Berg - Bass, Shawn Costa - Beats.

They have released four albums: Rebuild and From Anger And Rage on Rivalry Records, and Aggression and Bitter Clarity, Uncommon Graceon Bridge Nine Records. An EP, Four Songs, was the first material released by Verse.

Before reforming, Verse played their final 3 shows on the nights of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday May 21-23 2009 in Providence. The Thursday show was held in the singer of Soul Control’s basement. The last two shows were played at AS220 in Providence with Shipwreck A.D., I Rise, Product of Waste, Learn, The Body, Soul Control, Wasteland, and Crime In Stereo.

Verse’s first show back is scheduled for February 11th at AS220 in Providence alongside Defeater, Soul Control and Sweet Jesus and VERSE announced today that they’ll be appearing at the Belgian music festival Groezrock in April of 2012. VERSE also plans on hitting the West Coast of the United States at some point, and a European tour with friends and labelmates Soul Control in the summer is in the works.

    I just need a little bit of your time. I respect this band, and another band called The Verse emerged into this famous one. So, if you can, go to this page http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/The+Verse and vote in "Flag this" for this option: the Verse is correct. Thank you.

    Spartannnn, I've decided that you go from Shoutbox to Shoutbox of bands offering your opinion and no one really cares what it is.

    Probably my favourite band and also the most important for me at this time of my life, so damn inspiring and sincere. (II) Sincerity is the word when talking about VERSE, I was so happy to see them they almost made me cry! After Ignite the second band that can bring me to tears.

    Guys, can anyone leave me a shout with bands like this and have heart? I like the old hardcore punk and found out about this hardcore. (by the way not a fan of metalcore)

    I finally got around to listen to their new album; two tracks in - it has what made Verse the dominant force they are in hardcore, but with some basic ass riffs. and those solos, lol I'm indifferent on it all. good listen though :o
