History

Neve formed in 1997, and within a year were signed to Columbia Records. Their first album was released 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 Tracks chart at No. 30 in 1999 and reached No. 25 on the Adult Top 40 chart in 2000. [1] A second track, "Skyfall," was included in the soundtrack to the film Here on Earth . [2] After recording two new studio tracks, Identify Yourself was reissued and rereleased as Neve in 2000, and garnered stylistic comparisons to Matchbox 20 and Nine Days. [3] 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. [4] The band parted ways in 2001. [4]

Post-breakup

After Neve's breakup in 2001, some members continued in a band called Genius. [4] A one-off show was given in 2004; [5] a reunion was announced in 2005 and a new album was slated for release in 2006, [4] but this material was never released. In 2006, Genius changed its name to Stars Align due to legal issues. [6] Stars Align re-recorded Neve's song "Absent," and recorded a 5-song EP, which was produced by Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts. [7] The self-titled EP was released but with little commercial success. As of 2010, the members of Stars Align have chosen to pursue other interests.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Raspberries (band)</span> American pop rock band

The Raspberries were an American pop rock band formed in 1970 from Cleveland, Ohio. They had a run of success in the early 1970s music scene with their pop rock sound, which AllMusic later described as featuring "exquisitely crafted melodies and achingly gorgeous harmonies." The members were known for their clean-cut public image and matching suits, which brought them teenybopper attention as well as scorn from some mainstream media outlets as "uncool". The group drew influence from the British Invasion era—especially the Beatles, the Who, the Hollies, and the Small Faces—and its mod sensibility. In both the US and the UK, the Raspberries helped pioneer the power pop music style that took off after the group disbanded. They also have had a following among professional musicians such as Jack Bruce, Ringo Starr, and Courtney Love.

The sessions were so prolific that the project turned into a full album release with a new name, now titled Do We Have to Beg?. The album was completed and scheduled for release on May 20, 2011, however, "legal issues" and internal disagreements with their record label kept them from releasing the album, quietly delaying it days before release. The band initially announced plans to re-record the entire album without the help of a label, but after a quiet year with few updates, the band announced they had broken up in May 2012, without any plans on releasing the album outside of a few songs that had been released previously for promotional purposes. Their best known song is "Caught in the Rain" which peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart in 2003 after appearing on the soundtrack of the film Daredevil.
