[edit] History

Saving Jane originally began when Dodson and Buzzard worked together in music. They contacted a drummer, Goodman, to help them record a song.[1] After that, they decided to start a band by borrowing a bass player from another band and by booking a few shows. Due to some issues between the bassist and drummer, they decided against the borrowed bassist. They recruited a lead guitarist, Jeremy Martin, who was later replaced by Mike Ungar.[citation needed] Joe Cochran was introduced to the band by a mutual friend. In February of 2006, Mike Ungar stepped down from Saving Jane for family reasons, and Brandon Hagan joined the band as a replacement.[citation needed]

Saving Jane's debut album Girl Next Door was released in October, 2005. After major radio play of the single of the same name, Universal Records picked them up. The album was re-released with 2 new tracks in April, 2006.[citation needed]
