NEWSSOURCEDOTCOM:BAND:THE VERVE

Seminal British rock band The Verve have announced that they've reunited. The original 4-piece line-up of Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe, Simon Jones and Pete Salisbury were back recording in a London studio last week, and after a summer break they will return to the studio to complete what will become their 4th album.

Late-era guitarist Simon Tong will not be a part of the reunion as he is currently busy with The Good The Bad & The Queen. The Verve split in 1999 after releasing Urban Hymns in 1997.

So you want to know more?

NME were quick to pick up on the YYY's forthcoming EP, 'Is Is', and made it their headline news piece in this week's issue.

Down Boy - The Video

All five of the tracks on 'Is Is' were captured live on infra-red film infront of a special female only audience earlier this year. Of these the video for 'Down Boy' is the only one cut to studio sound instead of the live recording. 'Down Boy' will be available to download as a 1trk single from July 2nd, giving you a taste of what awaits when 'IS IS' is released on July 23rd.

Also available to purchase on the 23rd will be the above video to 'Down Boy'.

Forgoing the usual route of just giving press interviews the band have chosen to answer fans questions directly via Drowned In Sound's website.
