Alternative metal/hard rock/post-grunge
USA
Alter Bridge is an American rock band based in Orlando, Florida. The band was formed in 2004 by then-former members of Creed, Mark Tremonti (lead guitar, vocals), Brian Marshall (bass), and Scott Phillips (drums), with Myles Kennedy (lead vocals, lead and rhythm guitar), formerly of The Mayfield Four.
Kennedy, Tremonti, Phillips and Marshall started a new band and soon after juggling a few names, settled on the moniker Alter Bridge, which was named after a bridge in Detroit near Tremonti's home on Alter Road.[citation needed] The bridge led to a bad side of town and the neighborhood children were not allowed to cross because of this. Thus, according to Tremonti, the name of the band symbolizes going over into the unknown and starting something new.
Alter Bridge released their debut album, One Day Remains, in August 2004, followed by their second album, Blackbird, in October 2007. Both of those were highly successful. In January 2010, the band announced that 17 songs for a third album have been finished and that the band is writing even more material.The album's recording process, accompanied by producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Ratt, Limp Bizkit), began on February 15, 2010.
