Collective Soul

Collective Soul is an American rock band originally formed in Stockbridge, Georgia. Collective Soul broke into mainstream popularity with its first hit single, "Shine", which came from their debut album Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid, released in 1993. They have recorded seven Number One mainstream rock hits.

Collective Soul was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame on September 19, 2009. Their appearance began in 1993 as a recording band. Influenced by musician Elton John, but their music can sometimes be heavy-metal music semantap top a la Led Zeppelin. They have enjoyed periods of fame in the heyday of alternative rock since 1994.

He is Ed Roland, graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, initially working in "Reel 2 Reel Studios" in the range of 80-year period, until the early 90's. The studio's parents Will Turpin (bass player Will eventually became Collective Soul), and Ed was recording a few demos he had.

Ed then formed a band called "Marching Two Step", which is a pre-Collective Soul, which in this case Shane Evans also participated. Ed then became more focused on writing and publishing rights will be the songs. He tried to offer the parties record label, but it always leads to rejection.

Finally all changed when around 1993, the song "Shine" became hits on college radio stations, Orlando. Collective Soul is formed consisting of Ed Roland (vocals, guitar, keyboards), his brother Dean Roland (rhythm guitar), Ross Childress (lead rhythm guitar), Will Turpin (bass, percussion, backing vocals), Shane Evans (drums, percussion .)

Name of Collective Soul was taken after Ed Roland reading the works of Ayn Rand's book entitled "The Fountainhead" contained the phrase the word "Collective Soul", described by Ayn Rand as a threat / opposite of the main character of his book. However, Ed did not question the meaning intended by the author of the book.

He considers, that the said Collective Soul is always ringing in his mind and be Collective Soul as the name of greatness. Then Atlantic Records did not want to think long, and immediately took advantage of the popularity of "Shine" Collective Soul and contracting as one of the band's label.

Through their first debut album hints, allegations, and Things Left Unsaid (1994) and Collective Soul's second album (1995), seven of their singles were able to penetrate the number one position on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Trackschart.

On their first album hints, allegations, and Things Left Unsaid (1994), there are singles who are quite popular, including: Shine, wasting time, and there is an instrumental song titled Pretty Donna orchestra that lasted no more than 2 minutes, shows the side they are feminine.

On the second album Collective Soul (1995), singles are terrible at self-title this album, namely: Gel, The World I Know, December, indicating that they indeed deserve to be top bands at the time and are juxtaposed with the band- bands that have been popular at the time, such as: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, etc..
