Having formed in 2004 Saving Abel was originally a duo of Jared Weeks and Jason Null, the band began working on material and recordings whilst establishing a solid line up in the early days. An early song entitled 'Addicted' gained attention from Virgin Records and after watching the band perform they were offered a deal to record and release their debut album. Addicted would go on to be their highest charting US Single, peaking at #20. Their self titled release was a chart success, breaking the top 50 of the US Billboard and peaking within the top 10 of the Rock & Indie charts. On the back of this release the band were offered the opportunity to tour with Canadian rock band Nickelback at huge outdoor venues gaining them exposure and experience.

Their second album 'Miss America' was also released through Virgin Records and debuted at #24 on the Billboard chart whilst topping the US Rock chart. It featured two top ten singles on the US Rock chart 'The Sex Is Good' and 'Stupid Girl (Only In Hollywood)'. The third album 'Bringing Down The Giant' failed to match the chart placings of the first records without the support of Virgin. On December 26, 2013 both lead singer Jared Weeks and drummer Michael McManus announced their departure from the band through social media outlets. Saving Abel has continued since then, releasing 'Blood Stained Revolution' in November 2014.
