I've Suffered a Head Injury by The Verve Pipe
I've Suffered a Head Injury is an EP by The Verve Pipe, released in 1996. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 52 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Freshmen”, on 52 lists with a best position of #6.
I've Suffered a Head Injury is where the Verve Pipe began: an independent debut from East Lansing, Michigan, first pressed in 1992 as a full album and then trimmed that same year into an EP on LMNO Pop, which got a second life in 1995. The band had only just formed around brothers Brian Vander Ark on vocals and guitar and Brad Vander Ark on bass, with Brian Stout on guitar and Donny Brown on drums.
The rare 10-track album version is the collector's prize, carrying two songs Stout wrote and an acoustic first take of "The Freshmen". Heard now, it's a rough sketch of the song the band would cut again for Villains in 1996 and turn into its calling card.
