The Verve breaks up… again

The Verve had a big chance to make it big almost ten years ago, but the band imploded because of infighting. After reforming in 2007 and releasing its critically well reviewed fourth album Forth, The Verve has broken up again.

This is actually the third time The Verve has disbanded in its 13-year existence. The Daily Mirror reported that guitarist Nick McCabe and Bassist Simon Jones considers The Verve as no more. They think that the reunion was only used by eccentric vocalist Richard Ashcroft to boost his solo career.

This latest turn of events in the life of The Verve is disappointing considering that Forth is actually quite a decent effort. With The Verve gone (again), let’s hope that Ashcroft continues to make decent solo albums. McCabe and Jones are already working on a new project called The Black Ships.
