Resurrection
This is the first solo record from former lead singer and principle songwriter for The Verve Pipe. Vander Ark has also had success with movie soundtracks (he co-wrote "Blow You Away" with Andy Partridge of XTC for "The Avengers" soundtrack and wrote "When I'm Gone" for the film "Life Or Something Like It"). He also portrayed the bass player in the band fronted by Mark Wahlberg in "Rock Star", and he wrote and performed the song "Colorful" for the film and soundtrack. On "Resurrection", "the new songs show the sense of melody that made The Verve Pipe successful, but with added melancholy and heartbreak...Vander Ark's rich voice really shined through the acoustic melodies"--Nuvo.
