Saliva: 50 Best Songs From Their Career (So Far)

Saliva There have been bands who, over the years, changed their sound to either better improve on their lyrical style or just to try out something different. Changing labels or applying a new instrument also encourages bands to mix it up. But there are bands that put their skills to the test and change after every record release, making for a mix blend of lyrical experimentation and riff-swinging madness. Saliva, first situated in 1996 and still up and running in 2013, happens to be one of those bands that consistently and ideally change their sound to aim for higher levels of ingenuity. The band's current line-up consists of: Bobby Amaru (vocals and rhythm guitar), Wayne Swinny (lead guitarist), Dave Novotny (bass), and Paul Crosby (drums and percussion). Former lead vocalist Josey Scott, who stuck from the beginning, and who dropped out in 2011 to pursue a solo career, inherited his position to Amaru (a friend of Saliva), who now leads the band into a new generation. With 8 albums under their belt, dating back to 1997 up to now in 2013, Saliva has been a band that has preserved over the years and thoroughly released an album after every few years. That, and being a part of 5 labels over the course of their near 20 year career, but usually sticking with the same bandmates, Saliva has proved to be one of the most trying and hard-working bands out there, even if some people don't acknowledge who they are. From their 8 studio albums consists a list of 50 strong, hard-written, riff-jamming, feel-good songs (and sometimes even darkly written) that are better than all the rest. These 50 tracks, collaborated into one definitive list, are not only to narrow down the band's best songs from their career, but to show how far they've come as a unit over the years.
