Creed

This Alternative-Rock band come together in 1995 in Tallahassee, Florida USA, when vocalist Scott Stapp teamed-up with guitarist Mark Tremonti; the pair began writing songs and playing music with bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips.

The foursome's debut, "My Own Prison", which arrived in early summer of 1997 on Wind-up Records, cracked The Billboard Top 200 Albums chart within a few months and eventually peaked at #22; it contained four Mainstream Rock top 3 hit singles including the #1 "What's This Life For", the title-track, "Torn" and "One".
Their second effort, "Human Clay", was released two years later; the record shot to #1 on The Billboard Top 200 Albums chart highlighted by their masterpiece, "Higher", the single enjoyed a 17 week run at #1 on The Modern Rock chart and reached the #7 slot on The Billboard Hot 100, the second single, "With Arms Wide Open", hit #1 on both Hot 100 and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts; two more singles followed: the Mainstream Rock top 5 hits "Are You Ready?" and "What If". The album went on to sell over ten million copies.
In June of 2000, Marshall blasted Pearl Jam in a radio interview and was quickly and publicly reprimanded by Stapp on the band's official WebSite, the bassist left Creed before the end of the summer term.
In late 2001, the group returned as a three-piece, with "Weathered" which immediately peaked at #1 in U.S. Top 200 Albums chart, its first single, "My Sacrifice", topped The Mainstream Rock chart and reached the #4 position on The Billboard Hot 100; the follow-up single "One Last Breath" hit the top 10 on both Billboard's Hot 100 and Mainstream Rock charts; the title-track was another smash single and weighed in at #7 on the Active Rock chart.

When Creed took a break, Mark Tremonti and Scott Phillips started to jam together again in 2003 and the following year, reunited with Brian Marshall formed Alter Bridge.

After nearly a decade together and over 30 million albums sold worldwide the members of Creed announced the break-up of the band in mid-2004.

In November 2005, Scott Stapp released his first solo album.
