Alter Bridge is: Vocals: Myles Kennedy Guitar: Mark Tremonti Bass: Brian Marshall Drums: Scott Phillips the evolution of Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips & Brian Marshall as artists is marked with the debut of Alter Bridge. After selling 28 million albums, these members of Creed have chosen to pursue new creative directions. The band saw countless industry accolades, two # 1 albums & played to more than four million fans live. Guitarist, songwriter Mark Tremonti states, "I have decided to move on & explore new territory. With this line-up in place, we really have created something that can best be described as true." the band features Tremonti, alongside drummer Scott Phillips & bassist Brian Marshall, with the addition of Myles Kennedy, formerly of the Mayfield Four, serving as the act's frontman. Tremonti's search for a vocalist began in late 2003. "I knew Myles was a great singer from when the Mayfield Four opened for Creed in 1998," Tremonti recalls. "No one matched Myles' voice & passion -I knew he was the guy. Then he came down to rehearse with US in Orlando, & everything just clicked with all four of us. As we were running through the songs, the future fell into place before our eyes." the name Alter Bridge comes from a long-standing bridge near Tremonti's childhood home in Detroit, which was often regarded as a boundary to the children in surrounding neighborhoods; beyond it was uncharted territory. The small bridge epitomized "choice" & "the unknown" for Tremonti. While there remains a sense of familiarity amongst Tremonti, Phillips & Marshall, there is a natural level of excitement that is evoked from what is new, & ultimately unknown, about the future- they are truly starting a new chapter in their lives. Tremonti notes, "It's a new road ahead of us, but the essence of this band is organic & honest rock n' roll. The music is driven by melody & instrumentation. It is all about fun, & if it weren't, I doubt any of US would be committed to the new band to the level that we are." Alter Bridge's debut album One Day Remains was produced by Ben Grosse (Filter, Sevendust).
