Isn't Creed an (ex) Christian Rock band? (Just kidding)
Creed started up right here in Tallahassee (where I grew up and still live). I remember seeing them at The Mill Brewery with along with 5 people in the audience (nobody's basically). They grew more and more popular locally and the Clear Channel X station in town picked them up.
I was at the last show they played in Tallahassee right before they started My Own Prison tour at Floyds Music Store (probably know nationally from the various Girls Gone Wild filmed there
). They never came back to town to do a show. After we supported them for so long, helped make a name for them, etc they basically sold us out.
Creed == Sellout Christian Rock != Grunge
