#274: A Conversation with Legendary Band, The Verve Pipe!
Happy Wednesday, HUMP DAY!!!! Today I bring you a band that I have been following for more than 20 years. This was an amazing conversation, and a dream come true. Ladies and Gentleman, The Verve Pipe! Multiplatinum alternative rock band THE VERVE PIPE have spent the past 25+ years acquiring global acclaim while continuously building their legacy with radio hit songs including the iconic 1997 #1 smashing single “The Freshmen,” “Photograph,” “Hero,” and “Never Let You Down,” plus the favored track “Colorful” which was featured in the 2001 feature film Rock Star. Founder/lead singer and main songwriter BRIAN VANDER ARK has returned with a refreshed energy bringing on youthful co-writer and backing vocalist CHANNING LEE on the band’s first new album in four years, THREADS, scheduled for release on November 5 (CD & digital), March 11 (vinyl). THE VERVE PIPE are also excited to reveal the first listen to THREAD’s debut single, “No One’s Gonna Break This Heart (Again),” with an exclusive premiere via the band’s SoundCloud. Listen now at this link: https://soundcloud.com/thevervepipe/the-verve-pipe-no-ones-gonna-break-this-heart-again “No One’s Gonna Break This Heart (Again)” is available now to stream/download across all digital platforms. “This song is about how we overprotect ourselves,” shares VANDER ARK about the single’s meaning. “It’s about the armor that we wear after a particularly bad breakup. We deny ourselves the opportunity to fall in love again, fearful we will relive the pain. And yet it can’t be helped. Love happens again and again, until we finally get it right.”
