Saving Abel
Band United States Formed 2004
Saving Abel formed in 2004 in the United States. Saving Abel has 31 chart appearances on 24 radio countdowns from 14 stations on RockLists, spanning 2008–2021. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Addicted”, which appears on 10 lists with a best position of #4. The station that charted Saving Abel most often is 99 Rock (Lebanon-Hanover-White River Junction, NH-VT), with 5 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2008.
Saving Abel came out of Corinth, Mississippi, in 2004, the brainchild of Jason Null and singer Jared Weeks. Null found the name while reading up on Cain and Abel online and stumbling on a line saying nobody could save Abel, and it stuck as a suitably dramatic banner for a hard rock band.
They signed with Virgin, and their self-titled album is meat-and-potatoes hard rock done with conviction: thick, chunky riffs, big choruses and Weeks's gravelly voice front and center. "Drowning (Face Down)" broods, and "Addicted" swaggers.
Weeks sang with the band until 2013, when Scotty Austin took over the microphone for the next several years. The story took a strange turn in 2024, when the founders split into two rival bands, both calling themselves Saving Abel.
