About the Band
Collective Soul was officially formed in 1993 just prior to their signing with Atlantic Records in 1994 and releasing their first studio album, Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid. Since that time they have released 9 more albums, sold millions of copies and had 7 singles reach #1 on various music charts. Their latest studio release Afterwords debuted at #25 on the Billboard Comprehensive Albums chart in late August of 2007. See the Collective Soul Wikipedia page for more detailed information.
You can hear Afterwords in its entirety on the Collective Soul website. Their music is typically categorized in the alternative rock and mainstream rock genres, and it is noted for its catchy melodies, heavy guitar riffs and pop influences.
