Creed is an American
rock band, formed in 1993 in
Tallahassee, Florida. The band's best-known line-up consists of lead vocalist
Scott Stapp, guitarist and vocalist
Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall, and drummer
Scott Phillips. Creed released two
studio albums,
My Own Prison in 1997 and
Human Clay in 1999, before Marshall left the band in 2000 with the band remaining threepiece. The band's third record,
Weathered, was released in 2001 with Mark Tremonti handling bass before the band disbanded in 2004 due to increasing tension between members. Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips went on to found
Alter Bridge while Stapp followed a solo career, releasing
The Great Divide in 2005. After years of speculation, Creed reunited in 2009 for a tour and new album called
Full Circle, later touring again in 2012. Another album was planned, but has since been shelved, with instrumental members of the band turning their attention to Alter Bridge's new album
Fortress and tour, and Scott Stapp releasing his second solo album
Proof of Life both in 2013. Currently there are no plans for the band to resume in the near future.
