We are proud to have them join Loud & Proud / Roadrunner Records and we look forward to bringing their new music to audiences around the world."
Globally known for mega-hits such as "Shine," "December" and "The World I Know," Collective Soul hails from Atlanta, GA and has produced 7 #1 singles and sold over 10 million records. The band broke into mainstream popularity with their 1993 debut album Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid. The group's self-titled second album arrived the following year and logged a 76-week run on the Billboard Top 200. 1999's critically acclaimed Dosage saw Collective Soul further its run as rock radio superstars.

The new album is expected summer 2009.
