Hailing from Corinth, Mississippi, Saving Abel is a Southern rock powerhouse
best known for their explosive live shows and hard-hitting anthems
that blend post-grunge grit with radio-ready hooks.
Formed in 2004 by guitarist Jason Null and vocalist Jared Weeks,
the band quickly found their signature sound-a mix of raw emotion,
driving guitar riffs, and Southern swagger.
Saving Abel exploded onto the national scene with their 2008
self-titled debut album, driven by the breakout single Addicted,
which reached #2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and #20
on the Billboard Hot 100, earning multi-platinum status.
The album also delivered other charting rock staples like 18 Days
and Drowning (Face Down), cementing their reputation as a hit-making rock band.
Over the years, Saving Abel has toured relentlessly, sharing stages
with rock heavyweights such as Nickelback, Papa Roach, Hinder, and Buckcherry.
Their third studio album Bringing Down the Giant further showcased
the band's dynamic range and commitment to raw, emotionally-charged rock.
With over a decade of success, multiple charting singles,
and a die-hard fan base, Saving Abel remains a defining force in modern rock.
