Creed Disbands, Scott Stapp Doing Christian Song
Friday, June 04, 2004
After nearly a decade together, Creed has decided to
disband.

During their eight years and three albums together (My
Own Prison, Human Clay, Weathered) Creed achieved
countless rock & roll milestones and sold over 30
million albums worldwide. With their unprecedented
success at radio and their captivating live shows, Creed
became one of the most successful acts to rule the
charts over the past ten years.

Creed songwriter/ guitarist Mark Tremonti has decided
to join forces with Creed drummer Scott Phillips,
original Creed bassist Brian Marshall and former
Mayfield Four singer/ songwriter Myles Kennedy. The
new band, named Alter Bridge, will release their debut
album on Wind-up Records on August 10th of this year.
Expect a promotional acoustic tour of radio stations
later this summer, followed by a worldwide tour to
begin in late August or early September.

Creed songwriter / singer Scott Stapp has been busy in
the studio writing and recording over the past several
months. His first post-Creed recording will be featured
on an album coming on August 31st via Wind-up
Records that will pool together superstar talent, as
they individually offer compositions inspired by the film
"The Passion of the Christ." Simultaneously to tracking
his contributions to the Passion title, Stapp will
continue to work with producer 7 Aurelius, and has
joined forces with Canadian rockers The Tea Party to
work on his solo debut.

On the dissolution of Creed, Tremonti commented,
"It's kind of sad to end a chapter of your life, but it's
also exciting to be starting a new one. We'll always be
proud of the music we made with Creed, but Alter
Bridge gives me the opportunity to start over with a
different perspective and a more evolved direction.
This band begins and ends with the love of the music."
Phillips continues, "Creed was definitely a once-in-a-
lifetime experience, but I'm really excited to be starting
over as well. The most significant things that we are
taking from the Creed experience are the lessons that
we learned. We truly believe that the decisions we've
made for our future are the right ones. After writing
and rehearsing the new material, we are confident that
we've made the right choices."

Stapp shared, "Creed was one of the most amazing
journeys through music and friendship I am blessed to
say I was a part of. I made memories I can never
replace! I just want to thank the fans who supported us
and became a part of the Creed experience. We could
not have accomplished anything without you!(fans)."

Also in 2004, Wind-up Records will be releasing a
Creed Greatest Hits compilation. Details will be made
available as plans for the album take shape.
