Archive material and source history
Verveins formed in Wigan, England in 1989, built around twin brothers Nick and Richard McCabe. They worked in the shoegaze vein, with the swirling guitars and hazy vocals that defined that sound. Their song "Dreamor Dieless" became a particular touchstone for listeners drawn to that style.
Their early albums, like 1992's "A New Decade" and 1994's "No Come Down," didn't break through widely at first. Things shifted with 1997's "Urban Hymns," which included the track "Bittersweet Symphony." That song's success brought the band more attention, though it also led to a copyright dispute over a sample.
The group's lineup included Richard McCabe on vocals and guitar, Nick McCabe on guitar, Simon Jones on bass, Peter Salisbury on drums, and Davide Rossi on keyboards and violin. They released further albums like "Forth" in 2004 and "Hallelujah!" in 2008.
