Projected

Featuring members of Creed, Alter Bridge, and Sevendust, hard rock supergroup Projected formed in 2012. Consisting of singer and guitarist John Connolly, guitarist Eric Friedman, bassist Vinnie Hornsby, and drummer Scott Phillips, the band started as a way for the guys to head into the studio to record music without the pressures of a label deadline or a production budget looming over their heads. With a driving, guitar-heavy sound anchored by Connolly's soaring vocals, the band finds the veterans putting their collective experience in the rock & roll trenches to good use, creating something that draws from their previous work without feeling like a carbon copy of their day jobs. In 2012, Projected made their debut on Human, which was released on Connolly's own Yaya Papu label.
