Music News :: The Verve F**k Off for the Hundredth Time

The Mirror might be about as reliable source of music news as my uncle who's knee starts to hurt when it's going to rain, but given the sheer believability of this story, it's probably true.

Rumors are aflutter that Wigan's little britpop band that always almost was has decided to call it a day yet again as Nick McCabe and Simon Jones gear up their new project The Black Ships (not to be confused with Black Lips, or The Black Keys) and presumably Richard Ashcroft is locked in a studio somewhere looking at photographs of himself. Though no official word has been released about "The Big V" the story has been creeping around that a combination of McCabe's drinking and Ashcroft's ...Ashcroftness seem to have made the band's umpteenth reunion more short-lived than usual.

Still, if every ten years they insist on coming back to put out one good song and then go away again, I suppose that makes them better than most bands. So here's to you, The Verve.
