Neve (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neve were a pop-rock band based out of Los Angeles, California. They formed in 1997, and within a year were signed to Columbia Records. Their first album was slated for release in 1998 under the title Identify Yourself, and featured the hit single "It's Over Now", which was also included on the soundtrack to the movie The Faculty. "It's Over Now" peaked on the Billboard Modern Rock charts at #30 in 1999 and reached #25 on the Adult Top 40 charts in 2000.^[1] The album eventually came out simply as Neve in 2000, and garnered stylistic comparisons to Vertical Horizon and Nine Days. However, due to the long lag between the single's popularity and the album release, and other problems with the band's promotion, the album did not sell well, and the band was soon dropped from the label. Neve parted ways in 2001, with some members continuing in a band called Genius; a few one-off shows were performed in 2004 and 2005. Lead singer John Stephens is now working with a new band, Stars Align, who have recorded some of Neve's songs, including "Absent".
