Saving Abel by Saving Abel

Saving Abel, the self-titled debut from the Corinth, Mississippi hard rock band, came out on Virgin on March 11, 2008. Skidd Mills produced it, the same man who'd produced the independent album the band had already put out under the same name, so this is a band getting a second, bigger swing at its own songs.

Jason Null and singer Jared Weeks started the group in 2004 and named it after the Bible story of Cain and Abel, and the record is built for rock radio: thick, grinding guitars, big choruses and Weeks out front, with "Addicted" leading the way. It did the job. The album reached number 49 on the Billboard 200, and the RIAA certified it gold on March 6, 2009.
