Alter Bridge
Alter Bridge虽为一个新摇滚乐团，但团员面孔却全不陌生。前Creed吉他手及创作主力的Mark Tremonti与鼓手Scott Phillips在乐团休息期间，发现彼此对音乐有著相当的共识，因此伙同原始团员贝斯手Brian Marshall，以及前Mayfield Four的主唱Myles Kennedy，共同完成了这个全新组合的拼图。
首发单曲「Open Your Eyes」已经在各电台以及音乐网站上强力播送，并且获得欧美乐评一致的推崇。虽然是首张专辑却有著纯熟的大将之风，不单以grunge特有的旋律为主轴，并不时加上了重摇滚以及重金属的成分，增加了整张专辑的可听性。他们更试著以老式摇滚乐为根基，并强调出旋律性的重要，而「旋律」正是贯穿这张作品的关键字。Alter Bridge所架构起的，将是乐迷通往新一代摇滚乐的桥梁。
Alter Bridge的曲风结合了70年代经典摇滚与当代硬摇滚风格。2004年Alter Bridge发行了他们的首张专辑One Day Remains，同时推出首支单曲Open Your Eyes。他们的下一张专辑定于2007年，官方名为BlackBird，首张官方单曲为Rise Today。专辑将于2007年10月发行。主音吉它手Mark Tremonti谈到首张专辑时说，他终于得以展现他的才华，而许多歌曲中确实包含了单独演奏或复杂的音符密集段落。与Creed 相比，乐队融入了更多的摇滚风格。许多歌曲以吉它引入开场，Creed乐队的前成员们演绎出与前Creed相似的曲风。但主唱Myles Kennedy无疑使乐队作出了改变。与Scott Stapp的中音不同，Kennedy是一个高音主唱，更多地给人一种接近尖利的音域边缘的感觉。Alter Bridge并不认为自己只是换了一个新主唱的Creed，而更愿意看作是一支全新的乐队，拥有迥然不同的路线。队名Alter Bridgee来自于Mark童年时代一座桥的名字。这座桥位于充满争议的Alter Road路，在Korte的交叉口，成为了Michigan州Detroit市与Grosse Pointe Park市的边界—当他还是一个孩子的时候，这是一条严格禁止穿越的界限。这条生硬的界线也成为了谜一样的标记。
Alter Bridge is an American rock band from Orlando, Florida, formed in 2004. The lineup consists of Myles Kennedy (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Mark Tremonti (lead guitar, backing vocals), Brian Marshall (bass), and Scott Phillips (drums, percussion). Since the band's formation, there have been no line-up changes.
Following the break-up of Creed in 2004, former members Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips began working with Kennedy, formerly of The Mayfield Four. Naming the new band after a bridge that once existed on Alter Road near Tremonti's former home, Alter Bridge released their debut album One Day Remains to mixed reviews the same year. One Day Remains would go on to be certified Gold by the RIAA. Driven by the release of the single &Rise Today&, the band released their second album Blackbird to more positive reviews in 2007, with the band embarking on a world tour in support.
Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips reunited with Creed for a tour and album in 2009, while Kennedy recorded two songs for guitarist Slash's solo album in 2010, before fronting his solo band for a supporting tour. During this time, Alter Bridge continued to write material, and they released their third album AB III in 2010 to critical acclaim, with the single &Isolation& becoming the band's most successful single to date. The band embarked on a world tour in support of AB III from late 2010 to early 2012.
The members of Alter Bridge returned to focus on other projects, most of which released albums in 2012: Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips toured with Creed; Tremonti released a solo album titled All I Was and formed a solo band that briefly featured Marshall; Kennedy continued his collaboration with Slash, releasing the album Apocalyptic Love; and Phillips formed the supergroup Projected with members of Sevendust and Submersed, releasing an album called Human. The following year, Alter Bridge announced that the band's fourth album entitled Fortress is to be released in September 2013, with an accompanying tour commencing that October.

One Day RemainsAlter Bridge resurrected the music-making portion of Creed. After that band's 2004 dissolution, guitarist Mark Tremonti and drummer Scott Phillips tapped ousted bassist Brian Marshall for the new project. Ex-Mayfield Four frontman Myles Kennedy was soon on board as well, and Alter Bridge made their Wind-Up debut in August 2004 with One Day Remains. Written largely by Tremonti, the record tried to lean more toward a hard rock/metal sound than the post-grunge grandstanding of his previous group. After touring the world to support the album, the band decided to leave Wind-Up and sign with the Universal imprint Republic. In late 2007 the label released Blackbird, an album that featured more songwriting contributions from Kennedy. Their third album, AB III, was released in 2010, followed in 2012 by the concert recording Live at Wembley: European Tour 2011.
