Verse announce reunion and album plans

In news that will please hardcore fans everywhere, Providence genre mainstays Verse have announced their reunion. The band has been dearly missed since their dissolution in 2009, and will make up for lost time in 2012 with American and international tours in the works, as well as plans to record another full-length album. 

The band will play a hometown comeback show alongside Defeater, Soul Control and Sweet Jesus on February 11th, and will also appear at Belgium's Groezrock Festival in April 2012. Additional information about their reunion shows and the new album will be available in the coming weeks.

Read a statement from frontman Sean Murphy below:

"...it just clicked and made sense. I know I'm very happy to sit in a room again knowing that we are fine with each other and the way we are as individuals. VERSE was and is once again a very important part of our lives. It's without a doubt one of the most creative and challenging things we've done in our lives...We just want to do things on our own terms, not in a pretentious way but in a healthy way so that we don't hit a wall like last time. We're back to writing and having fun. Our new material is definitely still 'Verse'. We've been lucky not to get stuck in some type of predetermined template for hardcore punk or even music in general. We apply that to the creative process, especially with the new stuff."
