A fall return to duty for Collective Soul

Collective Soul, the multi-platinum selling band that helped lead 1990s alternative rock, is set to release their ninth studio release - and Vanguard Records debut - See What You Started By Continuing, on Oct. 2.

The band just premiered the first single “This.” Fans can receive a free download of "This" from the band's website, www.collectivesoul.com.

Formed in the small town of Stockbridge, GA, Collective Soul consists of principal songwriter and frontman Ed Roland (lead vocals/keyboards/guitars), Dean Roland (rhythm guitarist), Will Turpin (bassist), Johnny Rabb (drummer) and Jesse Triplett (lead guitarist).

Roland explains the album title See What You Started By Continuing came following a year off after the band had been going non-stop for 19 years.

“During that year, we had time to reflect and be proud of what we had accomplished over the years,” says Roland. “When we came back together, we were rested and more confident than we had ever been in our careers. We never thought of this as a second chance, but more of a second breath. We wanted to continue doing what we had always done and that was to make guitar driven music.”

Following the release of their first new album in six years, the band will embark on their “21st Birthday” tour. More details to follow.
