[edit] History
Saliva was originally founded in Memphis, Tennessee in September 1996. After competing in the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Grammy Showcase competition, where they advanced to the final round in New York City, the group self-released their self-titled debut album which sold over 10,000 copies in their region, prompting Island Records to take notice. Their Island debut Every Six Seconds was released in 2001, followed by Back Into Your System in 2002, which included the chart topping hits 'Always', and 'Rest In Pieces' co-written by James Michael and Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe. The band toured in 2003, opening for Kiss and Aerosmith.
On May 29, 2005, guitarist Chris D'abaldo announced he had left the band "for obvious reasons, as the band is not a unit anymore." He then shortly retracted his statement and apologized, declaring on the band's website that "there was a bit of an issue we're working through and we're looking forward to recording a new album later this year". [1] However, band's website currently apologizes yet again for the confusion and confirms that due to "creative differences", D'abaldo is in fact leaving the band, but that Saliva "is completely moving forward as planned and [has] our best music ahead of us".
Shortly after the departure of D'abaldo, Jonathan Montoya replaced him in the lineup. Chris eventually moved on to start the band Smolder.
Saliva released the album Blood Stained Love Story on January 23, 2007. The single, titled "Ladies & Gentlemen" has been released to radio stations and has made it to #2 (from Billboard.com) on the US Mainstream Rock charts. It is currently included as the background music for Sony's commercials for the PlayStation 3, and can also be heard in on their MySpace profile. The second single released off of the album was "Broken Sunday", which has reached #8 on the mainstream rock chart, and is frequently on the Sirius top 20 on Octane. Saliva's tour manager Chris stated that the new single off Blood Stained Love Story will be Track 4 "King of the Stereo".
In an interview on Rockline Radio the band announced that they had written new material, and would heading back into the studio with Bob Marlette in the near future to begin on their 5th Album which is to be called Monstar. The album is expected to be released fall 2008.
In an interview with WWE on the 27th February, Josey said “We’re going to go in the studio probably around May and record our next record. It’s called Monster, and if you like “Ladies and Gentlemen” and “Click Click Boom,” and more dynamic stuff, it’s going to be an ass-whooping of a record. It’s going to be 45 minutes of ass-whooping!”[2] However, with the announcement of a new tour with Sevendust, and a U.S. military tour to South Korea and Japan, followed by a stint in Europe, the band are not likely to hit the studio till July.
As of April 30th Octane 20 on Sirius Satellite Radio has begun playing a new song titled "Don't Question My Heart" featuring Brent Smith from Shinedown. The song can be found on the album WWE: The Music, Volume 8.
