“It’s exciting knowing that all the work that you’ve done is actually amounting to something so far.”

“…We worked our asses off, no doubt, to get where we’re at. But just to have the recognition of a big company like that, that’s still around, and has been around forever… so it was totally just something thrilling. We were excited about it.”

“Riding in a band with seven people...Showers are essential. You’ll be getting nicknames you don’t like.”

About Saving Abel:

Lead singer Jared Weeks and guitar player Jason Null formed Sick Puppies in their small hometown of Corinth, Mississippi in 2004. In early 2005, the pair's songs caught the ear of noted producer Skidd Mills (12 Stones, Saliva, Submersed), who took the band into his 747 Studios in Memphis. Mills notes, "It was '18 Days' that hooked me. The first time I heard it I was like, 'these guys are the real deal; they'll be doing this for a long time.' Jason and Jared have always understood that the most important part of the music business is having great songs."

Saving Abel, the Virgin debut produced by Mills, features mostly brand-new tunes, plus a few favorites from the indie EP, including the poignant, perfectly crafted "18 Days," "Running From You," and "Drowning Face Down." With a radio-ready sound combining big riffs and memorable melodies, Saving Abel has created a polished combination of Southern and Alternative rock... 2008 style.
