This Memphis, Tennessee USA, Alternative-Metal group was formed in 1996,
by lead singer Josey Scott, guitarists Chris Dabaldo and Wayne Swinny,
bassist Dave Novotny and drummer Paul Crosby.
One year later, the quintet released their self-titled debut album on
their own label.
Subsequently they signed with Island Records and recorded the single "Your
Disease" for "Dracula 2000" movie soundtrack, the song
rose to #3 spot on The Mainstream Rock chart and hit #7 on The Modern
Rock Tracks in early 2001; their major-label debut album "Every Six
Seconds" followed that spring and featured two more Active Rock singles,
including the top 20 "Click Click Boom" and "After Me",
eventually the album reached the #56 position on The Billboard Top 200
chart.
During 2002 Josey Scott with Nickelback
frontman, Chad Kroeger, released a new single entitled "Hero"
taken from the soundtrack of "Spiderman", it peaked at #3 on
The Billboard Hot 100, hit #1 on both American Rock charts and in a few
weeks became an international smash.
By the fall of 2002 Saliva was ready to release its third album, it was
preceded by the #1 Modern Rock hit single "Always"; "Back
Into Your System" climbed to the #19 spot on The Billboard Top 200
Albums chart and generated "Rest In Pieces" which peaked at
#11 on The Mainstream Rock Tracks plus the top 30 hit with "Raise
Up".
The Memphis-based five-piece act returned in August 2004 with another
strong effort and another U.S. top 20 smash album, "Survival Of The
Sickest", which burned up The Mainstream Rock Tracks chart with the
title-song and the second single cut, "Razor's Edge".
In January 2007 Saliva released their fourth Island studio album, "Blood
Stained Love Story", the first with new guitarist Jon Montoya after
the departure of Dabaldo; the disc equaled the chart performance of its
predecessor led by the Hot Mainstream Rock top 3 smash "Ladies And
Gentlemen" and the top 10 hit "Broken Sunday"; the final
single, "King Of The Stereo" reached #25 on the Active Rock
radio chart.
The band received an RIAA double-platinum certification in July 2008
for their breakthrough album "Every Six Seconds". In the fall
they put out their aptly-titled fifth full-length disc, "Cinco Diablo";
the new album's first single pick, "Family Reunion" quickly
broke into the top 20 of The Hot Mainstream Rock chart.
