Are Saving Abel and Sister Hazel both rock bands?
yes
Sister Hazel
Sister Hazel is an alternative rock band from Gainesville, Florida, whose style also blends elements of jangle pop, folk rock, classic rock 'n' roll and southern rock.
 Their music is characterized by highly melodic tunes and prominent harmonies.
 Most of their songs have optimistic lyrics.
 The band's instrumentation often features abrupt shifts among electric, acoustic and a cappella, with striking use of tacets. Though often described as alternative, Sister Hazel leans toward an upbeat sound and away from the clashing punk discordance often associated with the alternative rock genre.
 There have been no changes to the band's main line-up after over 20 years, although guitarist Ryan Newell was only listed as a guest musician on their debut album, and non-original member Dave LaGrande has been touring with them since 2012.
Saving Abel
Saving Abel is an American rock band from Corinth, Mississippi, who started in 2004 by Jared Weeks and Jason Null.
 The band title is from the ancient biblical story of Cain and Abel, that is about a brother who killed his own brother.
 Band member Jason Null thought up the band title saying "I Googled the story of Cain and Abel and found a line about ‘there was no saving Abel,’ which just jumped out at me."
