Collective Soul bio

Collective Soul is an alternative rock/post-grunge band from Stockbridge, Georgia, USA. Throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s they have enjoyed major commercial popularity on alternative rock and mainstream rock radio. They have composed hook-laden lush melodies on top of heavy fluent guitar riffs reminiscent of classic rock and hard rock artists from the 70s and 80s. Their main influences include Elvis Presley, Elton John, The Cars and The Beatles as well as many 1980s new wave bands. Some have called Collective Soul a Christian rock band, a styling the band has repeatedly denied. They do, however, acknowledge that their lyrics are often spiritual and introspective in nature.
