SAVING ABEL PRE-RELEASE BLOOD STAINED REVOLUTION … STREAM IT HERE

Saving Abel has consistently supported those serving in the military and the veterans.  In front of the November 11 release of BLOOD STAINED REVOLUTION, the band has launched a digital pre-release that goes live today via Rokbiz.  The complete album is available for $5.00 with 10% of gross proceeds earmarked for the veterans.  All purchases from today through midnight November 10 will support charitable organizations working on behalf those who have served. The album is AVAILABLE here: http://shop.rokbiz.com/shop/saving-abel/blood-stained-revolution-entire-album-digital-download.
Saving Abel guitarist Scott Bartlett shares, “We’ve always supported the troops.  They remind us every night on tour that our music has helped them through some of their darkest hours away from home and family.  There is a mutual respect between SA and the military that is very endearing and very real.  If they are going to risk their lives so that we can play rock and roll, we need to remind them as often as we can that we recognize their sacrifice.  Releasing the album on Veteran’s Day is not a coincidence, it was a choice made by the five of us.  We don’t want any credit for it.  We simply want to remind people that our military risk everything for democracy.  Blood Stained Revolution is a guitar heavy rock record that stays true to our southern and American roots.  We are confident that our message of hope through rock and roll will continue to inspire and help people through rough times.”  Founding member and guitarist Jason Null adds, “Some of our most memorable shows were played for our troops. This year was basically ‘back to the drawing board’ for Saving Abel so we missed out on being able to go visit with them. Donating a percentage of these proceeds was just the right thing for us to do.”
Since 2008 Saving Abel has embodied the definition of ‘Southern Rock’.  Even before their self-titled debut album for Capitol Records was released they were barnstorming the country making fans everywhere they went, just by being themselves. Simple, down home, charming, country-boys with immeasurable talent that was destined to take them straight to the top. 2014 is no different, and the band now returns with their strongest work to date with two new members in tow.
Saving Abel’s forthcoming new album, Blood Stained Revolution will be released on November 11th.  The date was aptly chosen because by the band because it is Veteran’s Day. Several of their hit songs: “18 Days,” “Drowning (Face Down),” and “Miss America” were all written and dedicated to the US Military, and the band has had the honor of being invited and traveling to play for the troops in some of the most remote and dangerous places in the world. …Iraq, Qatar, Cuba, Japan, and India just to name a few.
For this new album, Saving Abel welcomes two new members into the fold: singer Scotty Austin and drummer Steven Pulley.  They join the existing core of the band: Jason Null, Scott Bartlett, and Eric Taylor.  The result of this new lineup and independent attitude of the band has been amazing.  “Losing or replacing a front man is nothing any band wants to do,” remarked Saving Abel founding member and guitarist Jason Null.  “So we decided we wouldn’t replace anyone we would consider this a rebirth for band, an opportunity to write and record the music we’ve always wanted to. Scotty’s attitude and enthusiasm and belief in us along with new drummer Steven Pulley has enabled us to make a change but stay the same. We are all enjoying our fans, travels, and music and for once this feels like a true brotherhood.  We have the tattoos to prove it!”
 
With a string of seven Top 40 Rock Singles, the band is poised to add to that number with the title track from the new album “Blood Stained Revolution.”  The accompanying video for the lead single premiered last week,

The album is also the first release on the band’s new label: Tennessippi Whiskey Records.  The guys chose the name based on the fact that the all of the members of the band are from Tennessee and Mississippi and have been known for their very public Jack Daniels consumption over the years.”
