The Verve Pipe is an American post-grunge band from East Lansing,
Michigan. It was formed in 1991 by Brian and Brad Vander Ark, Brian Stout
and Donny Brown. In 1992, working with producer/engineer Jon Frazer, they
released their first album, I've Suffered a Head Injury, which featured an
acoustic version of the band's calling-card hit, The Freshmen.
The original 10-song version of the CD is no longer available. A 7-song
version, without the original recording of The Freshmen and two songs
written by Stout, was later released as an EP. The band, known for its
energetic live performances, began building strong followings during this
time, especially in the college towns of Kalamazoo and East Lansing.
In the fall of 1993, the band released a second album, Pop Smear again
working with Frazer that helped them gain a devoted following in their
native state of Michigan and their eventual signing with RCA Records in
1995. A.
