[Gypsies Take:  Remember when Creed was a band?  I have mixed feelings about this news, but for all intent and purposes Wind-Up has always been a seemingly decent label in spite of some of the less than fantastic bands they've signed over the years.  Hopefully, following the side projects of Richard Patrick, we can get this band back to its early days when I liked them so much better before that whole "Do you want to take my picture?" phase they had.  I'm excited if only because new Filter means possibly something amazing.]
