It's probably (well, definitely) somewhat of an understatement to say Collective Soul frontman and chief songwriter Ed Roland is unwaveringly driven in his desire to double down on doing more of what he does best -- making music, sweet music, both in the studio and onstage.

"People ask me if I have a hobby, but for me, it's just music," Roland confirms. "I mean, I don't know what else to do, because that's what I love to do. I live in the studio -- but then the time comes when I go, 'Well, now I wanna go play live.' I just love the creation of music, and the process of finding out what's gonna happen with it next. That kinda defines it all for me." 

In following his ever-tenacious muse, Roland is always looking to connect with his current Collective Soul bandmates any which way he can. Actually, the word current is a bit of a misnomer, since Roland truly believes the Collective Soul of the here and now is as permanently intertwined as any group of musicians he's ever worked with over the course of his illustrious career. "It's worth noting See What You Started by Continuing was really the demo for this band as it stands right now," Roland points out, referring to the 2015 album that realigned the rock quintet's creative compass. "I mean, this is the band for the rest of my life. This is it, man."

Indeed, if a) 2015's aforementioned See What You Started by Continuing was the reset blueprint for how a revamped and revitalized five-man lineup fully gels as a unit, and b) 2019's Blood was the ensuing coagulant further infused by an in-tune rock ensemble clearly firing on all corpuscles, then c) Collective Soul's upcoming, long-awaited 2022 album release Vibrating simply sends the band's artistic spirit into the next stratosphere. 

"Our fans have already picked up on that," agrees Roland, "because they've been waiting for Vibrating for almost three years now -- and I can't wait for them to hear it. They're excited because both See What You Started and Blood set such a high standard for where we're going as a band -- and it's only going to continue getting better with Vibrating. I really do believe that."

You can believe it too, for the proof lies within the new album's deeply delineated grooves. Fact is, Vibrating positively pulsates with the boundless energy that has been Collective Soul's aural calling card for going on three full decades. From the propulsively gnarly kiss-off of "Cut the Cord" to the reflective midtempo jangle of "Take" to the heart-wrenching reality check of "Rule #1" -- replete with a soaring string section, no less! -- to the choir-backed emotional crossroads of "Where Do I Go," Vibrating contains 42 minutes of irrefutable sonic evidence of a band wholly uninterested in sitting still. "I think we're on a roll," observes Roland. "We're not afraid to stretch the boundaries -- but we do know how to stay in our lane when we need to. Sometimes, though, we just have to go faster." 

The next logical acceleratory step, of course, resides in taking Vibrating out on the road where the band belongs, and test-driving how this electrifying new material meshes with indelible Collective Soul setlist classics like "Shine," "December," "The World I Know," "Gel," "AYTA," "Why, Pt. 2," "Precious Declaration," and "Heavy" -- in addition to more recent, Blood-spawned tracks like "Right as Rain," "Observation of Thoughts," and "Over Me." 

"We're ready to go," declares Roland. "Most of us grew up together and knew each other as kids, so that helps with the live chemistry. I've always said this about this band -- we know when to knock each other out, and we know when to hug each other. We won't put up with any crap, but if you're feeling down and need help, we'll pick you up. We're coming up on 30 years as a band, so we have to be friends first and foremost to keep it all going. If we aren't friends like that, then we're not going to have longevity in our career in order to continue doing what we love to do. That's just the bottom line."

Seeing eye to eye, and ear to ear, is part of the secret sauce of why Collective Soul continues to both record and play together at an uncompromised level of high quality. "That's the end goal for everybody in this band," agrees Roland. "Just because I write the songs doesn't mean I'm the only one who wants it all to come out right. We all want it to be right -- and that's because this is a band that acts like a band."

Working in tandem, sharing unbridled opinions, and listening to what everyone else has to say without recrimination are all key proponents in fostering Collective Soul's perpetual harmony. "That's the forte of this band," Roland acknowledges. "We discuss things together, we figure them out together, and we make sure to get everything right. That's how we love to do it. And I say this out of confidence, and not out of ego -- we're really, really good at it, too." 

You'll get no arguments here. As 2022 unfurls, it's clear heaven continues to shine its light down on Collective Soul, a formidable five-man band humming along in unison with many more good vibrations of their own to share with the masses far and wide. There's a reason Collective Soul are made for me and you -- so be sure to see and hear them for yourself first-hand, the next time they make their presence known in your neck of the woods.   --Mike Mettler, official Soulographer

    What a great time!

    by Troyyankees on 2023-09-02

    My daughter's first time seeing Collective Soul due to the age restriction, timing, Covid, etc. and she absolutely loved it. I did as well of course. Dancing, singing along and seeing everyone completely enjoying themselves is what makes a great concert. And this is was a great concert!

    Love this band!

    by Sara on 2023-09-01

    If you are thinking about seeing Collective Soul, do it, you will never regret it . Great opening band this year, but you can always count on them to work with someone their fans are guaranteed to love. They did start quite late, like well over an hour late I would say - doors at 7, opening band started around 8:20, Collective Soul around 9:30. This wasn't what I expected, I believe part of it was unavoidable but it would be helpful if they provided expected showtime separately from doors on the tickets so people would know what the plan was. I do have a complaint related primarily to the organizer - they were checking IDs in the lineup before the show. Presumably this is to meet a liquor license requirement, but the lineup was totally uncontained and dozens of people cut in ahead of me in the line up - so that is slightly annoying as someone who waited a very long time for my place in line to a general admission show. I get it, people work or have trouble finding parking and a member of the group holds their place - fine, whatever. But, importantly, it also rendered the ID check completely meaningless because at least a tenth of the people in my line of sight did not get ID'd and I'm quite sure a few were minors. This may have been a deliberate strategy. They simply jumped into line after the ID checkers went by and it had to have been obvious to the door staff, so if you're not going to bother having a proper process in place for checking ID then don't go through the motions and bother everyone with it. I mean this in the most constructive and positive way possible as feedback towards easy improvements to enhance guest experience, and in no way to diminish that Collective Soul is rocking, did a bunch of solos and got everyone totally PUMPED, and I had a great night. Please, come back soon.

    Blown away

    by The Terminator on 2023-09-01

    The epic venue of The Commodore Ballroom was the stage for a high energy, highly infectious sounds of a brilliant experience. The place was full of excitement and persons of all ages. 2 bands came to play for an audience. And both are talented, genuine and pleasing to all ages. I had a fantastic evening and a memorable experience ✨️

    Fantastic venue, fantastic band

    by Heather T on 2023-09-01

    The show was all I wanted and more. Collective Soul put on a great performance, engaged with the crowd without feeling disingenuous or like how they treat every stop on their tour. When talking to the crowd between songs, it was hard to hear because of all the conversations going on in the audience, but I’ll definitely choose this venue over a big arena any day!

    Small venues are the best!

    by Van Wheeler on 2023-09-01

    When considering concerts, the venue is just as important as the performers themselves. The Commodore Ballroom is the right size and configuration for concerts that fit the audience. They also have multiple bars preventing long lineups and people skipping. The venue had a balcony in a U shape which is the ideal configuration maximizing the second floor space. This provides the audience with better visibility and to be a little further away from the crowds on the floor up front. I was surprised to see there was also hot food service available, Along with a coat check to put away your wet raincoat. Though I did not take advantage of either service as I was not expecting it to be available and had planned for that. The concert lighting and effects were also beyond expectation for a venue of that size. Whether that is the venues equipment or the band's. The only minor complaint I have is the microphone of the vocalist did not seem to be clear. Standing on the floor in front of the stage I found it hard to understand what he was saying and could not quite hear the lyrics though I knew them anyway. Again not sure if this is the property of the venue or the band's.

    body ached

    by mature rocker on 2023-09-01

    1st off I consider myself healthy & active early 50's The venue to see a band up close and personal awesome. The having to stand for 4 plus hours in a tiny space ( so many bodies) is hard on the body, joints. Could use a wee bit more "rotation seating" Also did not like "no cash". We truly should have the option to use our Canadian currency. $4 for a coat check and you have to tap...ridiculous. Collective Soul put on a dazzling, hit after hit performance. The band Stories, incredible. My star rating is based on not enough places to sit, not the music. Thankyou.
