After a very very long absence Richard Ashcroft and his bandmates are back!

Check out their new single, Love Is Noise, below.

It's very Blur-like.

We approve!

What do U think????

      i can't listen because he's still asleep (refer to the cure's new song comments) but this is #4 on my "shit to do within the next fourty minutes" mental list.

      AWESOME! They were supposed to be one of the next big bands when they first came out, and then they broke up outta nowhere, BUT THEY'RE BACK! And yeah, song sounds good.



    14. 14

      This song kicks ass! but perez i thought you were supposed to be the queen of all media. I've had this song on my cd for a long time now. This song isn't that new your just behind the game.



    15. 15

      well it doesn't sounds that good.
      just average.
      bittersweet symphony is the best.



    16. 16

      Re: hardcore head banger – Are you kidding?? Then he would actually have to do some work!!!



    17. 17

      I've actually been listening to this tune for a few months now, in New England.



    18. 18

      Its nothing like Blur! It sounds like classic Verve to me! Everyone is going nuts for it in the UK



    19. 19

      I love them.they're one of my all time favorite's.and you little kids asking who is that.they're more famous than the jonas brothers.and they're not on the Disney channel that's why you probably don't know



    20. 20

      funny that you say they are JUST making their comeback… saw them a few months back. perez, you need to get on your sh*t!!!



    21. 21

      ha, verve comeback was news a few months ago, tut perez !



    22. 22

      Intense….they were my jam back in the day, with all the other Britpop superstars. I was in LOVE with Mr. Ashcroft. Not bad at all…I can't see myself getting back into as deeply. I'll probably stick with their raw, early stuff.

      This has a lot of the qualities of Richard's stuff that failed so hard.



    23. 23

      Re: jonathanonetreehill – —- i also love them!!! and have for years!!!

      completely agree, you kids who are asking who they are need to get a reality check. if you think the jonas brothers, miley cyrus or any of those are actual real musicians then i feel bad for those around you and have to listen to your poor taste in music. start with the classics, it only gets better…



    24. 24

      sucks…

      They only had one good song- and I can't even think of it right now



    26. 26

      As if you have any idea what you're talking about hahaha. It sounds nothing like Blur you idiot. The Verve have never sounded like Blur.



    27. 27

      Perez please STOP with the music!!!!!!!!!! You know NOTHING. First of all this has been out for ages…it is not new by any stretch of the imagination.

      And this sounds nothing like Blur. Try listening to some of their music before you say stupid things.

      Lollapalooza was a couple weeks ago…think youd like to link us to the JUST ANNOUNCED lineup again?



    28. 28

      wow perez! clean out those ears girl! this song is a fucking mess! real shite if you ask me

    29. PFF says – reply to this


      29

      How does this sound like blur exactly???



    30. 30

      what the hell is that sound throughout the whole song. sounds like a demonic barfing seagull. the song is horribly boring. there's no real chorus or musical change in the entire song. too bad really. this is one of the more annoying songs i've heard in a long time



    31. 31

      I LOVE it, for the people out ther who dislike it, Im sure that the new Hanna Montana will be "droppin soon"



    32. 32

      fuck old news perez



    33. 33

      this has been out for weeks….not exactly new. the verve, however, do rock, big time!



    34. 34

      I'm a tad disappointed, and I'm a huge fan :(
      Hope the rest of their new stuff is better than this, Richard even sounded better when on his own.



    35. 35

      You gotta love Richard Ashcroft. Even his solo stuff was pretty good.



    36. 36

      LOVE IT!!!!!!!!



    37. 37

      this song totally rox! :-)



    38. 38

      i like it!!



    39. 39

      Old or not, still appreciate the music you post on your site Perez! xD



    40. 40

      I love this song, but honestly, it has nothing, NOTHING to do with Blur. Not even close. It sounds like….The Verve



    41. 41

      Uhhh where the eff have you been Perez, I've been hearing this song on a radio station out of Boston for at least two months



    42. 42

      Very right to call it sort of blur-esque! Richard Ashcroft is the shit. So refreshing that someone out there is still making real, quality music. Leave it to the Brits. ;)



    43. 43

      This song sucks. Why does anyone even care? Its not like the Verve were a great band to begin with.

    44. Iris says – reply to this


      44

      yes they are back :) hopefully more songs are on the way!



    45. 45

      like Blur?? where? have you even heard Blur? The song is alright I suposse. But this sounds nothing like blur
      Blur is much better!
      moder life is rubbish they're right

      i love the verve. this song isn't a strong first single by any means, but generally label practice is to put out the really big "money maker" single second. plus anything they do will probably be a disappointment in comparison to bittersweet symphony. so give them a break. i don't hate this song, either.

      Love these guys, they were definitely one of my fave 90's bands! Very underrated.



    48. 48

      Brilliant!



    49. 49

      LOVE LOVE LOVE IT…



    50. 50

      LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! But it's been out for awhile get with it perez! I seen The Verve in Vegas and they rocked, Which is not a shocker. It was worth the 10 year wait!



    51. 51

      Very un-Blur! Actually, I think that I liked it better when they stole samples. This is not a good follow up.



    52. 52

      so happy that they have re-banded. I was completey gutted when they split!
      I dig this track!!!! (although don't agree it is Blur-like…I used to love Blur, and this sounds nothing like them. Sounds like the Verve, but 2008 version!
