Saliva et Satellite Citi

Saliva’s first critical success was their final-round placement in the Grammy Showcase Competition, which saw them perform in New York and pick up a considerable initial fan base. Soon after this achievement, Saliva self-released their debut album, “Saliva”, which helped them catch the attention of Island Records and eventually won them a record deal.

Signed to Island Records, the band released their second album, “Every Six Seconds” in 2001. The album placed at number 56 on the Billboard 200, winning the group considerable attention and the single “Your Disease” placed at number three on the Mainstream Rock Chart in the US.

In 2002 Saliva had their first top 20 album with the release of “Back Into Your System”. The commercial success of the album was helped significantly by the success of singles “Always” and “Rest In Pieces” written by Nikki Sixx and James Michael. The band’s fame increased further after being asked to tour with KISS and Aerosmith in 2003.

Saliva’s next two albums “Survival of the Sickest” and “Blood Stained Love Story” were both top 20 hits, but the band’s subsequent albums failed to generate the same success for the group. In 2011 lead vocalist Josey Scott left the group to pursue a solo career and since then the band has been pursuing a new direction with Bobby Amaru singing lead vocals.

Over the years Saliva has toured with the likes of Sevendust, Pop Evil, Aranda and Royal Bliss in addition to KISS and Aerosmith. In 2002 Saliva was nominated for a Grammy Award for their performance of “Your Disease”.
