SKILLET
After nearly three decades, eleven albums, and thousands of shows worldwide, Skillet continue to play louder, fight harder, and sound more rebellious than ever. As of 2024, the band has received two GRAMMY® Award nominations, earned a Billboard Music Award, and landed three albums in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200.

Selling over 22 million units worldwide, they’ve achieved multiple platinum and gold RIAA certifications, totaling 12 certified singles and four certified full-length albums. Not to mention, they regularly attract more than 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify, boasting “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all time” with the 5x-platinum hit “Monster.”

Their presence has surged throughout popular culture with syncs featured by WWE, Marvel, ESPN, and the NFL, alongside coverage from USA Today, The New York Times, and more. As a live force of nature, they’ve performed across four continents and 26 countries, packing arenas everywhere from the Middle East to Russia.

Beyond music, Skillet expanded their universe with the graphic novel series EDEN. The first installment became Z2 Comics’ best-selling book of all time.

Now, the global hard rock quartet — John Cooper (lead vocals, bass), Korey Cooper (guitar, keys), Jen Ledger (drums, vocals), and Seth Morrison (lead guitar) — deliver an insurgent, infectious, and unmistakable body of work with their twelfth full-length offering and first-ever independent album, Revolution, led by the single “Unpopular.”

SAVING ABEL
Jared Weeks is the powerhouse frontman of multi-platinum rock band Saving Abel, igniting stages with raw vocals and gritty southern swagger. Under his lead, the band’s smash hit “Addicted” soared to Billboard’s Top 20 and earned RIAA platinum certification. With multiple top 10’s, Weeks has rocked over a thousand stages worldwide, sharing tours with rock giants like Nickelback and Shinedown. His return to Saving Abel in 2021 marked a bold new era, blending chart-topping legacy with modern rock edge. With Weeks at the helm, Saving Abel remains a relentless force in American hard rock.
