After spending the summer opening for some of the biggest names in rock music, Virgin Records rock-quintet Saving Abel have announced that they will open for the biggest names in politics, playing at the first Obama / McCain Presidential debate on September 26, 2008 at the University of Mississippi.

The free show which begins at 12:00pm also includes Paul Thorn, Josh Kelley and the North Mississippi Allstars. Saving Abel will make a pit-stop at the U of M to play the pre-debate show before their gig at Big Spring Jam in Huntsville, AL that evening, part of their current outing with Buckcherry and Shinedown (full schedule below).

“We’re excited to play at the debate and show our support for the election process as we believe that the outcome will truly affect the lives of all Americans,” said frontman Jared Weeks.

Undoubtedly one of the biggest new rock bands of 2008, Saving Abel have been steadily climbing radio and sales charts all year and they show no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Their debut single, the run-away, multi-format, smash-hit “Addicted” has been heard on radio airwaves for 30 weeks and continues to work its way up the charts. It spent 4 weeks at #1 at mainstream rock radio, was #2 for 10 consecutive weeks at active rock radio and peaked at #7 on the alternative chart.

“Addicted” has found a whole new life as Top 40 radio gets hooked, where it is currently #21 on the airplay chart and quickly moving upward. The single impacts that Adult Top 40 format on Sep. 30th. The sultry video for “Addicted” which made its debut on playboy.com is also enjoying multi-format success. The clip has seen airplay on MTV2, Fuse, and Music Choice and was recently added to the play list of MTV’s pop channel MTV Hits.

Saving Abel’s second single is a monster ballad entitled “18 Days” and it is beginning to follow in its predecessor’s footsteps. In a few short weeks of airplay at active rock radio, it is currently ranked #24 and was one of the most added songs at alternative radio last week when it officially impacted at the format.

Saving Abel’s self-titled debut also continues to reach new chart peaks. Since its March 11th release, the album spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart before debuting on the Billboard 200 in July. The album hit a new high this week at #53 on the chart and has scanned over 160,000 units. “Addicted” has sold over 435,000 digital singles and holds its highest chart position to date this week, jumping from #48 to #38 on the singles chart.

Saving Abel – named after the Biblical sibling of Cain – was formed by Jared Weeks and guitarist Jason Null in 2004 in their hometown of Corinth, Mississippi. Now based in Memphis, Tennessee, the band’s lineup includes guitarist Scott Bartlett, bassist Eric Taylor and drummer Blake Dixon. Combining influences of southern rock, hard rock and alternative music, the band was first heard on a 2005 EP, produced by Skidd Mills (12 Stones, Saliva, Submersed).

Virgin Records southern rock quintet Saving Abel, currently on a summer-long tour with Puddle of Mudd, will rock on into the fall. The band will join hard-rockers Shinedown to support co-headliners Avenged Sevenfold and Buckcherry on the road in a series running from mid-September to the first week of October (full schedule below). In that leg of the tour, Saving Abel will make one hometown appearance, for Memphis radio station WMFS.

Saving Abel’s unstoppable debut hit, “Addicted,” continues to be one of the most durable and broad-based songs in the rock radio of summer 2008: it has been bulleting for a solid 10 weeks at #2 at active rock radio, and also reached #2 on mainstream rock, while bulleting to #8 at alternative rock. The track is currently proving its crossover durability as it begins climbing the chart at Top 40 radio.

Meanwhile, the “Addicted” video is currently in rotation on MTV2’s viewer-playlisted You Rock the Deuce program and Elite 8, and is #2 on Fuse.TV’s Number 1 Countdown Rock listing.

The Skiddco/Virgin debut album SAVING ABEL is also hitting new chart peaks in its third month of release. It was #1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers listing for 3 consecutive weeks, as well as the Nielsen Soundscan new artist album chart. The album marked its highest position on the Billboard 200 last week, climbing to #98.

Avenged Sevenfold’s Hopeless/Warner Bros. self-titled album debuted at No. 4 in Billboard’s Top 200, and 15, Buckcherry’s Eleven Seven/Atlantic platinum album continues to chart nationally after an extraordinary 15-month run so far.

Saving Abel – named after the Biblical sibling of Cain – was formed by Jared Weeks and guitarist Jason Null in 2004 in their hometown of Corinth, Mississippi. Now based in Memphis, Tennessee, the band’s lineup includes guitarist Scott Bartlett, bassist Eric Taylor and drummer Blake Dixon. Combining influences of southern rock, hard rock and alternative music, the band was first heard on a 2005 EP, produced by Skidd Mills (12 Stones, Saliva, Submersed).

The album, which has a new release date of June 24th, 2008, follows the story of the band’s NY Times best-selling memoir The Dirt, a no-holds-barred tell-all that features every gritty detail of the group’s exploits as one of the world’s biggest rock bands.

Says Sixx, “Before our performance at the press conference, we were firing on all cylinders at sound check just jamming out, and that’s when the new idea came. We quickly laid it down and went to the studio to record it, and liked it so much we pushed back the release one week so that we could get it onto the album – it now has 13 tracks. It’s the ultimate song to end the record with and begin the new chapter of our career.”

Produced by Live Nation, Crue Fest is a touring rock festival embracing the lifestyle of rock. With the lineup including Motley Crue, Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M. and Trapt, “Crue Fest ‘08″ will undoubtedly be the summer’s loudest show on earth.

The trek kicks off July 1st, 2008 in West Palm Beach, Florida and works its way across North America for over 40 dates throughout July and August. Tickets, band profiles and exclusive content from all of the Crue Fest bands will consistently be uploaded at The Rock Vine.
