Saving Jane originally began when Dodson and Buzzard worked together in music. They contacted a drummer, Dak Goodman, to help them record a song.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. Joe Cochran was introduced to the band by a mutual friend, but according to the band's myspace Joe is no longer with the band as of early 2007. In February 2006, Mike Ungar stepped down from Saving Jane for family reasons, and Brandon Hagan joined the band as a replacement. Also as of 2008, Jeremy Martin is no longer with the band. The new bassist is Eric Flores.

Saving Jane's debut album, entitled 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]
