Collective Soul are a rock band from [[DeepSouth Stockbridge, Georgia]], unintentionally formed by singer Ed Roland in 1992, 1992 from the ashes of his bar band, Marching Two-Step. Eager to get some material out to the public, Ed recorded a series of demos, with musicians he enlisted for a help from former Marching Two-Step drummer Shane Evans and their mutual friend, Ross Childress, though on most of the tracks Ed was the sole musician. Shortly after selling the demo he could sell tape to a publishing company.local radio, the band officially formed, with Ed, Shane and Ross joined by Ed's younger brother Dean and their friend Will Turpin joining on rhythm guitar and bass, respectively. They had their first hit with "Shine", and went on to moderate success. \n

"Shine" was so successful that after being signed to Atlantic Records, the company released the demo recordings as their first album, ''Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid", without giving the band time to re-record it and properly master it, which causes Ed Roland to state that their self-titled follow-up album is their real debut.

For the most part, the band avoided controversy, but also avoided much in the way of widespread enthusiasm, although in 2001, Ross Childress left the band under [[SleepingWithTheBosssWife less than amicable circumstances]]. Since then, the band has gone through a number of other members, and corresponding changes in sound.

!!Members:
* '''Ed Roland''': Lead Vocals, Occasional Guitars, Occasional Keyboards (1992- )
* Ross Childress: Lead Guitar (1992-2001)
* Shane Evans: Drums (1992-2005)
* '''Dean Roland''': Rhythm Guitar (1993- )
* '''Will Turpin''': Bass, Backing Vocals (1993- )
* Joel Kosche: Lead Guitar (2001-2014)
* Ryan Hoyle: Drums (2005-2008)
* Cheney Brannon: Drums (2008-2012)
* '''Johnny Rabb''': Drums (2012- )
* '''Jesse Triplett''': Lead Guitar (2014- )


Added DiffLines:

Nearly all the band's members have pursued side projects as well. Ed Roland, Will Turpin and Joel Kosche have all released solo albums, while Ed formed a country band on the side known as Ed Roland and the Sweet Tea Project (which also features Jesse Triplett), Dean Roland joined with friend Ryan Potesta to form the duo Magnets and Ghosts, while Ed and Jesse formed the duo Alien Attitude during the Covid-19 outbreak.

* IAmTheBand: Ed Roland is the only member that has been there since 1992.

to:

* IAmTheBand: Ed Roland is the only member that has been there since 1992. This can be a little misleading, however, because Ed was literally ''the only member'' in 1992, and the first album is just him (and on a few tracks, Ross Childress and Shane Evans) recording demos in his basement (which explains the sound quality of the first album). It was only after he sent the "demo recording" around to various radio stations that the band officially got together, and by that time "Shine" was a hit, so Atlantic was ready to release it as their debut album. Ed wanted to re-record it, but the label didn't want to waste time when the existing recording was already popular.
