One of the best bands of the Britpop movement has re-united! After 8 years of silence, The Verve are back together. In December, the band has a UK tour to celebrate the reunion, and next year a new album and world tour are planned.
This is exciting news. I never got into the whole Britpop movement but I did like The Verve a lot. It is such a shame people only know Bittersweet Symphony and ignore the rest of the catalogue they have. The Drugs Don't Work, Sonnet, Catching The Butterfly, Slide Away, ... all great songs. I love Richard Ashcroft's voice but never really got into his solo material. It is great to see The Verve back together, and I have high expectations of the new album.
The official website (http://www.theverve.tv) has also been renewed!
