Mmmmm, good and
angsty. The Verve Pipe is a
rock band that formed in
Lansing, MI in
1992. The band:
Brian Vander Ark - vocals, guitar;
Donny Brown - drums, backing vocals;
Brad Vander Ark - bass, backing vocals;
A.J. Dunning - guitar, backing vocals; and
Doug Corella - keyboard, percussion. Past members:
Brian Stout - guitar, backing vocals.
Their album Villains did really well going gold and getting the album in the Top 40. The biggest single off the album was The Freshman which became a Top Ten pop hit. Their follow-up self-titled album, released in 1999, does not seemed to have done as well. I haven't heard any singles off it.
