The Verve Pipe is an American rock band hailing from East Lansing, Michigan, formed in 1992. The group achieved commercial success in the mid-to-late 1990s and is best known for their 1996 hit single "The Freshmen." The band's lineup has experienced several changes over the years, with lead vocalist and guitarist Brian Vander Ark remaining a constant presence. The Verve Pipe's sound is characterized by its alternative rock edge, with influences from grunge and post-grunge, which gained them considerable airplay and a dedicated following during their heyday.

Despite initially disbanding in the early 2000s, The Verve Pipe reconvened with renewed vigor, releasing a variety of albums that showcase their ability to evolve and adapt. Their discography includes "Underneath" (2001), a mature pop-rock effort reflecting their stylistic development, and "A Family Album" (2009), signifying a diversification in their music with a collection aimed at children and families. More recent works, such as "Overboard" (2014), "Parachute" (2017), and "Threads" (single released in 2021), demonstrate the band's enduring commitment to creating emotionally resonant and sonically textured music. The Verve Pipe continues to perform live, using this platform to both reconnect with long-time fans andwin over new audiences with their powerful performances.
