The band later had a falling out with long time friend and guitarist Ross Childress. The remaining four members, Ed & Dean Roland, Will Turpin, and Shane Evans, have recruited guitar tech Joel Kosche to play lead guitar at live shows. At a few recent festivals, Ed Roland has announced that they are indeed working on a new album and that the official website (www.collectivesoul.com) should be up and running within the next six months. It’s only a matter of patience. Until then, watch for appearances at festivals across the country.
