Biography
Formed in 2004 by Tremonti and Phillips after a cooling of their relationship with the Creed singer (Creed has since reconciled and reunited), ALTER BRIDGE hooked up with then ex-Creed bassist Marshall and former Mayfield Four frontman Kennedy (who recently performed and co-wrote 2 songs on Slash’s solo record and fronts his touring band).
Lyrically, the first two albums are based on themes immersed in hope and perseverance in the face of adversity. On 'AB III', however, the theme has shifted. Kennedy states, “This record is definitely a departure from the last two albums in terms of its subject matter. It touches on the thoughts and emotions of someone who has come to question everything that was once regarded as an absolute truth. It’s the realization that everything you once believed in might not exist.”
'AB III' is an incredibly intense and dynamic album proving ALTER BRIDGE continues to grow and evolve with each recording. “We went into the process of putting the record together with a lot of confidence,” Tremonti reveals, “but we didn’t go into it looking to be commercial, or to have radio singles. We just wanted this to be an album that pleased us artistically, through and through.”
