10/17/07 - ALTER BRIDGE ROLLS A LUCKY #13 WITH UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC DEBUT BLACKBIRD
Universal Republic artists Alter Bridge prove it ain’t a
bad thing to be good and lucky, joining an elite group of artists on
Billboard’s Top 15 Album Chart this week by locking down the lucky #13 slot
with their high flying debut album Blackbird.
The soaring foursome’s much buzzed about opening is even more eye-popping
when you consider they edged out legendary rockers like Eric Clapton and
gritty icons Puddle Of Mud. Alter Bridge is celebrating the hearty welcome
from rock fans in reciprocal fashion – bringing their searing brand of hard
rock live to concert goers across the U.S. on one of the fall’s most talked
about tours. The former Creed members – Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips, and
Brian Marshall, joined by riveting vocalist Myles Kennedy – round out Alter
Bridge and are winning over critics with the same power and bombast that
enlivens the songs from their sophomore album Blackbird.
“One of the greatest things to happen to hard rock since David Lee Roth
joined Van Halen” raved Metal Edge. Joined by fellow Universal Republic
rockers Another Animal, (comprised of former members of Godsmack), the tour
(which runs though mid-November) has become one of the most eagerly tracked
rock two-lanes on the internet, igniting rock networking sites with set-list
chatter and after-show critiques from fans of the two rock bands that have
set myspace sites aglow.
For Alter Bridge, Blackbird is an imposing follow-up to their Gold-plus
album debut One Day Remains. Advancing the themes of that critically
acclaimed effort, but with an even more ominous edge, the album has become a
mainstay of modern rock charts and digital platforms, and includes
fan-favorites such as their #1 most-added kick-off single “Rise Today,”
“Break Me Down,” and “Ties That Bind,” among others.
