Saving Abel is an American rock music group from Corinth, Mississippi, who were started in 2004 by Jared Weeks and Jason Null. The band title is from the ancient biblical story of Cain and Abel, that is about a brother who killed his own brother. Band member Jason Null thought up the band title saying “I Googled the story of Cain and Abel and found a line about ‘there was no saving Abel,’ which just jumped out at me.”
Lead singer and founding member Jared Weeks left the band to pursue a solo career. Scott Austin replaced Weeks as the lead singer.
Jared Weeks and Jason Null began forming Saving Abel in the small town of Corinth, Mississippi in 2004. Weeks was learning to play the guitar at his best friend’s house and Null, who was in a competing rock band in the same town, walked in to rehearse. Null and Weeks hit it off, and a couple of days later the two were writing songs together. Early in 2005, their songs caught the ear of noted producer Skidd Mills (12 Stones, ZZ Top, Saliva, and Robert Cray), who brought the two into his 747 Studio in Memphis Tennessee to record some of the songs.
Saving Abel is the major label debut album of Saving Abel. It was released on March 11, 2008 and produced by Skidd Mills, producer of their independently released album of the same name.
The album peaked at #49 on the Billboard 200, and was certified Gold by the RIAA on March 6, 2009.
The first single off the album is "Addicted" which has received airplay across the country. It has reached #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. It sold over 800,000 copies in the US alone.
The second single, "18 Days", reached #6 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
"Drowning (Face Down)" became their third single and received airplay across the country.
