With seven number one hits under their belts, Collective Soul is one of the biggest American rock bands to come out of the 90’s. Their songs, from “Shine,” to "December," "Where The River Flows," and "The World I Know," to name a few, are still in constant rotation on the radio and “Tremble For My Beloved” found Collective Soul on the soundtrack to one of the hottest movies of 2008 – Twilight.
Hailing from the city of Atlanta, Georgia, Collective Soul shot to international fame with their 1993 release Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid, and their mega #1 hit “Shine.” The album was a collection of Ed Roland’s demos that spread quickly through the college underground circuit and caught fire, going on to achieve Double-Platinum status. After having been invited to the 25th Anniversary Woodstock concert, Collective Soul went into the studio to record their sophomore follow up. The self-titled Collective Soul, released in March of 1995, would be the album that would help define their sound of catchy melodies and guitar driven songs. Containing four outstanding singles (three of which reached #1), “December,” “The World I Know,” “Where The River Flows,” and “Gel,” it became Collective Soul’s highest selling album to date. The album went Triple-Platinum and spent 76 weeks on the Billboard Top 200 charts.
Continuing to release albums through the 2000’s, Collective Soul never stops. Touring, recording and just having fun.
