History

Neve 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] A second track, "Skyfall," was included in the soundtrack to the film Here on Earth.[2] The album eventually came out simply 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 have re-recorded Neve's song "Absent,"[7] and are currently working with Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts for production of their latest material.[8]
