Saving Aimee were a British pop/rock band from Hertfordshire. The band toured extensively for four years, released three singles and an album produced by Justin Hawkins from The Darkness. On 14 December 2009 the band went on an indefinite hiatus.

The band formed in mid-2005. All members grew up together in St Albans and recorded their first EP in 2006. Since 2007, the band toured throughout the UK, playing well over 350 shows. The band toured and played shows with the likes of McFly, Enter Shikari, Simple Plan, Fightstar, Kill Hannah, Justin Hawkins, The Ting Tings, The Blackout, Funeral For A Friend, We Are The Ocean, Don Broco, Frank Turner and Young Guns.

Saving Aimee's first release was a free download single "Small Talk" in July 2008. "Small Talk" received airplay on BBC Radio 1 and received A-List rotation on Kerrang! Radio for four months, placing at number 9 in the most played and requested songs of the year. The single received over 20,000 downloads.

In January 2009, the band had their first TV appearance, on BBC 2's BBC Switch.

In 2009, Saving Aimee started their own record label Hey You!, distributed by Autonomy Music Group/Warner Brothers, with its first release being the single and album with the same name We're The Good Guys.
