Biography |

Creed was formed in 1995 as a rock, and alternative rock group. They broke up in June 2004. Many people consider Creed to be a Christian rock band, because their songs include many religious and spiritual implications. Frontman Scott Stapp disagrees with the label: "No, we are not a Christian band." Their 1997 debut album My Own Prison was successful, and the title track was a major hit at rock radio. Their second album, Human Clay was released in 1999 and debuted on the Billboard 200 Album Chart at number one, based on the strength of its first single, "Higher". It wasn't until early 2000 that the single crossed over onto pop radio, and Creed became a household name.
In the fall of 2001, "My Sacrifice," the first single off of Creed's latest album, Weathered was one of many inspirational songs to become huge in a post-9/11 America. In early 2002, "Bullets" was released as a single, along with a costly, special effects-laden video. On June 4, 2004, it was announced that Creed had broken up. Stapp will record a solo album, collaborating with Roadrunner Records recording artist Goneblind, while the other band members (including Brian Marshall) will form a new band, Alter Bridge, with Myles Kennedy. The band members are Scott Stapp (Vocals); Mark Tremonti (Lead Guitar, Vocals & Studio Bassist); Brian Marshall (Bass, Left the band after the Human Clay album); Scott Phillips (Drums).
