“Before Saved by Skarlet I had lost all faith in God. I didn't go to church, never picked up a Bible, I just didn't believe. Listening to Saved by Skarlets music and hearing the messages behind each song gave me a different opinion on God, the Bible and Church. Not only can the music move a person but the members of the band are so kind and take the time to teach there fans about God and the Bible. Since I been listening to the band I have started going to church as often as I can. I picked up a Bible and started reading. My faith in God has been restored. My family will listen to Saved by Skarlet in the car and just get lost in the words. We love Saved by Skarlet! We even introduced our 2year old daughter Rileigh to there music! Saved by Skarlet was her very first concert! She loved every second! We been taking the time to teach her about God and the Bible! We bought her these cute little Bible story books for kids. She loves them! Honestly without Saved by Skarlet I don't think I would have given God, the Bible and Church another chance. Saved by Skarlet has really helped me and my Family there music is beautiful and the members of the band are amazing people! I honestly believe if you haven't listened to Saved by Skarlet yet you definitely should!

“I met this band in a weird way at SoulFest 2019. I ran into a very kind young man named Matthew Middleton in the bathroom, he spent time talking to me and my boys and then 20 minutes later me and my 3 boys were rocking out while they played onstage! I have listened to a lot of their music and they are truly gifted by God. When I'm having a bad moment I just turn up the music and praise Jesus. Their lyrics send a strong message and in today's society I think we need that more than ever.”

I“Through Saved By Skarlet (SBS) I have found friends, brothers, a family of profound faith who are an inspiration to me. The message in the lyrics is one of love, passion, and an ignition of the faith driven fire within all of us. SBS has touched my heart and my soul with kindness and friendship. Life changing doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. The support and encouragement that they give to their friends, family and fans is something I have rarely seen. For these reasons, I personally believe that God will take them far beyond the reaches of imagination. Listening to their music pulls me out of depression, out of the prison in my mind in into the Light of the Lord. In fact I would challenge you to listen to Surrender All and not feel a pull on your heart toward something greater than yourself. Their album is 40 minutes of pure fire.”

“I have to say, if it wasn't for me finding Saved By Skarlet recently, I wouldn't have heard their song ‘Conquerors’, which helped me this sunday while playing drums at my church. At worship practice last Wednesday I was kept messing up but their song gave me the strength to keep going and not be so hard on myself. Next Sunday came and I didn't mess up at all, despite the rough practices beforehand, and it’s all because of God that I am more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus, I’m just thankful there is a REAL Christian hard rock band out there doing what Jesus did in his time, only now through music. It’s hard to believe that these guys do sound engineering, atmosphere, stage setup, recording, production, networking, and advertising themselves! I’m so glad I met Nate Middleton (frontman of SBS) on Facebook this past summer.”

“I haven't known Saved By Skarlet for very long...but what I do know is that they are incredible people AND produce music that sincerely means the world to fans. They're an independent band and sacrifice countless hours working for God's glory. I haven't had a relationship with God for very long, but I'm moving forward and this band has helped me greatly. I've struggled with suicide several times, and recently their beautiful ballad 'Surrender All' is what got me through it. My favorite line from that song is; "When I hurt are You hurting with me? Through the pain I can see a story, and when I struggle and I feel like I'm not enough...God You capture me in love." The young, lively band is going places..and I can't wait to see just how far God takes them on this journey."

“Saved by Skarlet is like going to church. Once you listen to the words, you realize there is a powerful message. These guys are by far the best band for new Christians and especially non-believers, and I will never forget seeing them for the first time at SoulFest 2019. I always get a new message every time I listen to them and can only imagine what their next self-produced album will be like.”
-Steven Oldacre, Rhode Island (2019)
"All I can say is WOW. I just happened to find you all on Facebook a few minutes ago. I love how God sends you the right music and message, just at the time you need it and Him the most. I just had a spinal fusion October 8th and am now homebound unless appointments. Your song 'When I'm Cold' is going to be one I listen to a lot! Thank you for reminding me how to love even when I'm cold. My goal now is heal and come find you all in concert! God Bless you all."

Meeting and listening to Saved By Skarlet has had a significant impact on my life. I've had to push through a lot of challenges such as sexual assault, harassment, losing a family member to suicide, numerous injuries and more. Every time I had an issue or a struggle, the lead guitarist and lead vocalist of the band 'Matt and Nate' would always be there for me. These two guys and Saved By Skarlet brought me closer to God by praying with and for me and introduced me to their drummer Adam Chenier. Luckily, I already ahd the privilege of growing up with Saved By Skarlet's newest band member 'Alex Hare'. He has been the best of friend I could ever pray to have and he’s been there for me through everything. I especially feel a close connection to the song 'Conquerors' due to the fact I knew with them and God by my side, I could conquer anything I set my mind to. You would not be disappointed by their music or them as people. They are wonderful driven folks and awesome musicians.

"A lot of Christian bands don’t seem to talk about Jesus, but Saved By Skarlet’s music has a message that is clearly conveyed at their concerts and in their music/media. I’ve attended a lot of their concerts and they take time at their concerts to give a spoken word and alter call. Seeing young adults and older adults alike being impacted and the band praying for people is simply incredible. These guys are going to go very far!”
-John Sypek, Massachusetts (2019)
“Knowing the guys from the Saved By Skarlet (SBS) before even knowing about their band, I don't really see Nate and Matt Middleton primarily as from SBS. That's important because I got to learn a bit about their story apart from the band, and then knowing that they're doing all they can possibly do for Christ has encouraged me to keep going, even when struggles come...and they always do. They inspire others through their actions and music, continually seeking opportunities to spread the love of God! They’re impacting their community, and I know they’ve impacted mine. While they're all certainly talented, I know that's not the determining factor (although it helps a lot, haha) The determining factor in having an impact is following the call of Jesus Christ. Something that everyone can do... and SBS is doing it! So, because I see the fruit of the band's labor, I know that one day I can labor the same way and see good fruit as well.”

I found Saved by Skarlet a few years back in 2016 when they performed at a Block Party my town held. I didn’t know it then, but I have come to enjoy listening to their music. I thought they were good, but at the time I wasn’t really into rock music. Fall 2017 was an extremely hard time for me. Not to get into all the details, but I was in an abusive relationship and struggled massively with self-harm and suicidal thoughts. It was at this time that I turned to music to help me through it. Saved by Skarlet showed up on a playlist that YouTube had deemed “My Mix”. While I love all of SBS’s music, my favorite by far is “Surrender All”. I cannot count how many times that song has saved me from completing suicide since it was released in Fall 2019. Nor can I say how many times the song has saved me from relapsing and self-harming again. During the Summer of 2019, I had the privilege to meet Nate and Matt. Though I was already a fan of SBS, getting to meet them and call them my friends makes the band even more personal. Because of Nate, Matt, and SBS I have started to find my faith in God again. Not only that, but I have found a way to love myself and want to live. Without SBS I honestly don’t know if I would still be here. I still struggle with my thoughts. When they seem to be winning I simply go to SBS and listen to their songs (“Surrender All” is on the top of the list). “God You capture me in love” speaks to me a lot. God truly has captured me in love by allowing me to be friends with Matt and Nate and so many others that are part of SBS.
