Saliva
Saliva is an American rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1996. Their best-known lineup, which lasted from 2000 to 2005, consisted of lead vocalist Josey Scott, lead guitarist Wayne Swinny, rhythm guitarist Chris D'Abaldo, bassist Dave Novotny, and drummer Paul Crosby. The band has undergone multiple line-up changes, with no original members remaining in the band following Swinny's passing in 2023. They have been nominated for six Grammys, and have won one MTV Music Video Award.
After releasing their self-titled debut album in 1997, Saliva signed to Island Records and released their second studio album, Every Six Seconds, which served as their commercial breakthrough. They released third studio album Back into Your System in 2002, which reached No. 19 on the Billboard 200. Back into Your System launched one of Saliva's most successful songs, "Always", reaching No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Modern Rock Chart. Three years after their fourth album Survival of the Sickest, Saliva released Blood Stained Love Story in 2007, repeating Back into Your System's chart performance at No. 19 on the Billboard 200. Its first single, "Ladies and Gentlemen", peaked at No. 2 on the Mainstream Rock Chart. The band have since released a further six studio albums – the most recent of which, Revelation, was released in 2023.
The band is known for having their songs played at sporting and professional wrestling events, especially WWE. "A lot of our songs... just lend themselves to sporting events," said Swinny in an interview with Songfacts. "You can't watch... or go to a football game and not hear "Click Click Boom" [and] "Ladies and Gentlemen"."
