The Verve's First EP, Voyager 1

The Verve met as teenagers at Winstanley sixth form college in Wigan. Richard Ashcroft on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, maybe Nick McCabe,. Simon Jones on bass, Peter Salisbury on drums. Their first EP came out in 1993, just called Verve. The band's first full-length album also from 93 is called A Storm in Heaven. It's not as good as the Oasis song called Slide Away but don't hold that against them.
