Collective Soul Artist Snapshot:

Riding the crest of the grunge movement as it crashed on the shores of mainstream rock, Georgia's Collective Soul showed up in the mid 1990s with everything rock fans wanted, and now expect, from their radio stars: big, compressed, gut-wrenching guitars, sensitive lyrics and emotive wailing that presaged emo vocals, and hooks galore. Their debut album went double-platinum, largely due to the lovely power ballad "Shine." They continued to release solid, hit-spawning albums for Atlantic Records, but left after a greatest-hits package in 2001, and began self-releasing their recordings to a still-enthusiastic base of loyal fans.

All songs written by Ed Roland.

Fronted by guitarist-songwriter Ed Roland, Collective Soul is the rock and roll Cinderella story of 1994. Hailing from Stockbridge, Georgia, Collective Soul is an upbeat, rootsy Southern guitar band with a critical difference--the solos never supercede the songs.

In fact, eleven of the thirteen songs that make up HINTS, ALLEGATIONS AND THINGS LEFT UNSAID were originally conceived of as a songwriter's demo (at a time when Roland had lost all hope of ever getting a record company deal). Roland and Collective Soul pressed their own CDs, and as a lark, sent one along to WRAS-FM, the influential Atlanta college station. Later, when two Orlando stations picked up on "Shine," Collective Soul began selling discs at a platinum rate, and Atlantic honchos inked them for a major league push.

Still, this fairy tale begins, not with a wave of hype, but with Roland's accomplished tunes and Collective Soul's sweet and scrappy arrangements--this is a band with a canned heat heart and a grunge epidermis. You can hear many echoes of the singer-archetypes Roland had in mind for his "demos" on "All" (the Beatles), "In A Moment" (Ric Ocasek), "Heaven Is Already Here" (Van Morrison) and "Reach" (Rod Stewart). Yet in the end it's Roland himself who emerges as a soulful vocalist--much more than the sum of his influences. Collective Soul is living proof that good things come to bands that stay true to their muse and have the courage to go out and grow their own.
