Alter Bridge is an American hard rock supergroup from Orlando, but the band is currently based in Atlanta. Formed by Mark Tremonti (lead guitar, vocals), Brian Marshall (bass) and Scott Phillips (drums), former members of Creed, with Myles Kennedy (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), formerly of The Mayfield Four. Alter Bridge released their debut album, One Day Remains, on August 10, 2004 along with their first single "Open Your Eyes", which was followed by "Find The Real" and "Broken Wings". They released their second album, Blackbird on October 9th, 2007. Their first single of the album, "Rise Today", was released on July 30th, 2007. On January 2nd, 2008, "Watch Over You" was officially named the second single for Blackbird.

The band juggled several names before settling for Alter Bridge. The name comes from a bridge on Alter Road, close to Tremonti's childhood home. The bridge is at the intersection of Alter and Korte, which forms the border between the city of Detroit, Michigan and the city of Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan. The bridge signified a boundary to Tremonti when he was a child. His parents didn't want him crossing the bridge because the neighborhood on the other side wasn't considered safe enough for him to play as a child. Other names considered for the band include "Downright," "Solace," and "One Day Remains" (which would become the title of their debut album).

The band was signed to Wind-up Records and released said debut album on August 10, 2004. The album produced three hit singles and was certified gold in the US, and platinum internationally. In addition, the song "Metalingus" was modified by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and used as the theme song for Adam "Edge" Copeland, starting in October of that year. About a year later, the band appeared on an episode of WWE Raw in 2005 during Edge's worked shoot feud with Matt Hardy, as they were shown backstage with Adam Copeland, who cited them as his good friends.

In April 2006, Alter Bridge announced that they had terminated their contract with Wind-Up Records, securing the rights to much of their studio and live catalog. The split was due to the pressure put on Tremonti, Phillips, and Marshall to reunite with Scott Stapp and reform Creed. By May 25, 2007, they had finished recording the new album. On July 9, 2007, it was announced that the band was signed by Universal Republic Records.

Their next album, titled Blackbird, was released on October 9, 2007. The first single off the new album is titled "Rise Today," and was released for digital download on July 30, 2007. The song was also the official theme song for WWE's Unforgiven 2007. The music video for "Rise Today" debuted October 4, 2007 on the Yahoo! Music website.

It's been announced that Alter Bridge will be at this year's 2008 Download Festival on June 13th-15th and another one called Rock on the Range on May 17-18 2008.

Enjoy! Peace!
