In a recent interview with 95.5 KLOS’s New & Approved, Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti was asked if there had been any discussion about him and his bandmates working on new music. The guitarist admitted that the band needs some change.
“Just us coming back together after so long was kind of the big driver to get people to come to the shows [on the first reunion tour in 2024],” he shared. “But as we keep doing it, we’re gonna need to introduce new music to keep saying, ‘Hey, we’re touring, supporting this new EP or this new record.’ So we’ve all talked about it, and we just have to make the time and figure out…”
Tremonti also mentioned both his and his bandmate Scott Stapp’s solo works: “We’re all spinning plates right now. Scott’s got his new [solo] record out. I’ve got my new [Tremonti] record coming out. We got an Alter Bridge record we’re gonna record [in 2025]. And then new Creed music, to try to start planting those seeds and get those things going. It just all can’t happen at one time. We’ve gotta put everything in its place,” he added.
Since their comeback back in October 2023, Creed has been touring non-stop. While they haven’t released any new material yet, band members shared some details as to what fans might expect to hear — and it’s not something ‘too progressive.’
“I think putting a fresh look, but also realising what people loved about the band and trying to trying to keep that intact and not get too progressive in any way with Creed. We keep that to Alter Bridge and Tremonti and we keep Creed a little more the way it was back in the day,” Tremonti said earlier.
He added, “The big melodies, just the stuff that worked back in the day. I think on ‘Full Circle,’ I think we strayed a little bit from our original sound with that album. So I think it’d be good to try to get back to that original sound a little more.”
Creed will start their 2025 dates with the sold-out ‘Summer of ’99 and Beyond’ cruise from April 9-13. The 2025 tour includes performances by Sevendust, Hoobastank, Lit, Hinder, Fuel, and more.
