Collective Soul
Collective Soul Performs at the ASA Action Sports World Tour in Cincinnati!
Multi platinum international recording artists, Collective Soul, re-released their 7th studio album,
Afterwords, on December 9, 2008, to all retail and digital outlets.
Afterwords debuted in the Top 25 of Billboard's Album Chart and on the iTunes Top 10 when it was originally released in August, 2007, via exclusive deals with Target and iTunes. At the same time, the disc's first single, "Hollywood," was used in commercials by American Idol throughout their lengthy audition process. By sheer coincidence winner David Cook was a big fan, performing Collective Soul's classic hit, "The World I Know," on the show's finale, causing Entertainment Weekly to note that Cook "staked his entire Idol career on a Collective Soul cover," and won. Songs from
Afterwords have also been featured in television shows
The Hills, 90210, Celebrity Apprentice, Womens Murder Club, Brothers and Sisters and
Shark.
This brand new edition includes for the very first time three solo songs by songwriter and singer Ed Roland; "An Evening With," "Ain't That Enough" and "Give." The physical album also included a year's membership to the band's fan club, The Collective Souls. The digital album includes a Deluxe Edition with a 7 minute video diary from the band's trip to Peru in early 2008.
Currently, Collective Soul has a song featured in the new blockbuster film
Twilight as well as the accompanying chart topping soundtrack. The soundtrack held the #1 positions on both iTunes and the Billboard charts the week it was released.
Collective Soul have released a total of 7 studio albums in their 14 year career, have sold over 10 million albums and have had nineteen singles landing in the Billboard charts, seven of those reaching the #1 spot on the magazine's radio charts.
Collective Soul recently signed a Worldwide recording deal with Roadrunner Records and are currently in the studio recording their 8th album due for release later this year.
