"We`re thrilled to be opening for Nickelback.
It`s crazy, a twelvemonth ago we were playing small bars and clubs around Memphis and now we`re touring the nation in a bus and leave be playing with one of the biggest touring rock bands in arenas," said Saving Abel frontman Jared Weeks.
Saving Abel have been on the road non-stop since the March, 2008 issue of their self titled debut from Virgin records and have played with rock heavy weights such as Buckcherry, Avenged Sevenfold, Puddle of Mudd and Shinedown. The set has enjoyed impressive success with their chart-topping, multi-format smash debut single "Addicted," which hit #1 at mainstream rock radio, spent 11 consecutive weeks at #2 on the active rock chart and reached #7 at alternative radio. At press time, the cover is the most played song of 2008 at the active rock format. "Addicted" found a totally new spirit in July when it impacted Top 40 radio. The run away hit is now seated in the top 10 at the formatting and is top 15 at Hot AC. While "Addicted" is topping the pop charts, Saving Abel`s second single "18 Days," a vast rock ballad dedicated to the troops, is warming up at rock radio where it is already top 10 at active rock and top 20 at alternative radio. Videos for both tracks have witnessed major play across all television channels including MTV2, VH1, Fuse and Music Choice where "Addicted" is presently the #1 played video an their "Hit List" channel. Saving Abel continues to make new heights on the sales charts as well. The album spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard`s Heatseekers chart before debuting on the Billboard 200 in July.
