Alter Bridge is an American hard rock and heavy metal band formed in Orlando, Florida in 2004, built from the nucleus of post-Creed members Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall, and Scott Phillips, joined by vocalist Myles Kennedy. Their second album Blackbird (2007) marked a significant critical breakthrough, and subsequent releases including Fortress (2013) and The Last Hero (2016) debuted in the Top 10 on charts in both the UK and US. The band is defined by Tremonti's dual-guitar attack and Kennedy's operatic range, placing them at the heavy end of the mainstream American rock spectrum.
