Marshall quit Creed because of differences with singer Scott Stapp , but joined his former bandmates in this project. Singer Myles Kennedy joined the project later.

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 . Other names considered for the band include "Downright" and "One Day Remains". The band was signed to Wind-Up Records and released their debut album, '' One Day Remains '', on August 10 , 2004 . The album produced three hit singles and was certified gold in the US , and platinum internationally. 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 reason for the split was because of pressure put on Tremonti, Phillips, and Marshall to reunite with Scott Stapp and reform Creed. By May 25 , 2007 , they had finished recording of the new album. On July 9 , 2007 , it was announced that the band was signed by Universal Republic Records . Their next album, titled '' Blackbird '' is set to be released on October 9 , 2007 .
