For other uses, see Collective Soul (disambiguation).

Collective Soul is an American rock band originally from Stockbridge, Georgia.[2] Now based in Atlanta, the group consists of the brothers Ed (lead vocalist) and Dean Roland (rhythm guitarist), Will Turpin (bassist), Johnny Rabb (drummer), and Jesse Triplett (lead guitarist). Formed in 1992, the original lineup consisted of the Roland brothers, bassist David Neal, guitarist Ross Childress, and drummer Shane Evans. Collective Soul released their Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid album on the independent label Rising Storm Records in 1993. The band went from obscurity to popularity that year after the album's lead single "Shine" received regional radio play. Around the same time, Turpin replaced Neal on bass. The album was then re-released in 1994 by the major label Atlantic Records; thus, "Shine" became a national hit as it peaked at No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock and No. 4 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart.

But Eddie Roland often used music to minister to his church, and his sons Ed and Dean both became interested in playing guitar.

After graduating from high school, Ed Roland moved to Boston for a year to study at the renowned Berklee School of Music. When he returned to Stockbridge, he la
