Collective Soul
is an American rock band that consists of the brothers Ed (lead vocalist) and Dean Roland (rhythm guitarist), Will Turpin (bassist), Johnny Rabb (drummer), and Jesse Triplett (lead guitarist). Formed in 1992, the original lineup consisted of the Roland brothers, Turpin, guitarist Ross Childress, and drummer Shane Evans.
In 1993, Roland's song
"Shine"
from the Rising Storm label release of
Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid
became an underground hit and created a new band lineup.
Ed Roland was reading
Ayn Rand
's novel
The Fountainhead
and came across the phrase "collective soul." In the novel, "collective soul" is a threat to the main character's sense of individualism. Roland has said that the choice was not in support of "Ayn Rand, objectivism, egoism, or anything...we just dug the name."
