Collective Soul presses on behind 'Afterwords'
The Georgia-based quintet has a handful of shows left on its February dance card--including a performance tonight in Kitchener, Ontario--and will then hit the road in earnest beginning in late March. So far, 16 shows are on the books through late April for the spring outing, as is a lone June performance in Biloxi, MS. Details are included below.
Last August, Collective Soul offered up "Afterwords" on its own El Music Group label. The set is available via Apple's iTunes Music Store, as well as from Target, with whom the band struck an exclusive agreement for distribution of the CD version of the album.
"Afterwords" features current single "All That I Know," as well as the cuts "Hollywood" and "New Vibration," all three of which are streaming at the band's MySpace page. The album follows the group's 2006 release, "Home," a two-disc, one-DVD set that captures the band's April 2005 concert in its hometown of Atlanta with the city's Symphony Youth Orchestra.
Formed in 1992, Collective Soul made a name for itself with a batch of '90s-era hits, including "December," "Shine," "The World I Know," "Gel," "Blame" and "Precious Declaration." The band has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, according to its publicist.
