The Rich History of Saving Abel and Its Evolution
Saving Abel was founded in 2004 by Jared Weeks and Jason Null, with Scott Bartlett joining shortly thereafter. The band experienced a significant breakthrough in 2008 with the release of their self-titled debut album, which featured hit singles such as “Addicted,” “18 Days,” and “Drowning (Face Down).” These tracks propelled the band into the mainstream rock scene and established them as prominent figures in the genre.
After a successful run, Weeks departed from the band in 2013 following the release of their third album, Bringing Down the Giant, which came out the previous year. Subsequently, Saving Abel continued to evolve by recording Blood Stained Revolution in 2014 with new lead vocalist Scotty Austin, who remained a part of the band until 2021.
