new record.
___________________________
Produced by Bobby Huff (3 Doors Down / Shinedown / Halestorm), the eighth album from Saliva, delivers 12 explosive tracks sure to delight longtime fans while appealing to a potential new legion of faithful followers.
"We think it's the best album we've done
since probably the first or second one."
-Dave Novotny
Leading the charge is the group's dynamic new frontman, Bobby Amaru. The Jacksonville, Florida native replaces original singer, Josey Scott, who left the Memphis-based band in 2012. And along with founding members, guitarist Wayne Swinny, bassist Dave Novotny and longtime drummer Paul Crosby, Rise Up recaptures the guts, groove and glory of such Saliva staples as "Click Click Boom," "Always" and "Ladies and Gentlemen."
"It was just one of the most enjoyable experiences
that I ever had in the music business."
-Wayne Swinny
Brand spankin' new guitar-driven anthems abound — including the guaranteed fist-pumping lead-off single / title track, "Redneck-Freakshow" and "Army." However, it's bona fide golden nuggets such as "She Can Sure Hide Crazy," "Choke" and "Closer" that make for the record's most compelling moments.
"Closer, that's like a relationship going through
a whole break-up thing, seeing yourself
from each other's perspective kind of deal."
-Bobby Amaru

Combining the no-nonsense nuts of Papa Roach with the songwriting edge of Hoobastank, while remaining true to the Saliva sound, Rise Up delivers — across the board. And as long as they continue to maintain dysfunctional relationships with crazy women, the band clearly still has plenty of gas in the tank and tread on the tires.
I fell for every curve, twisted by her curse,
I never saw the psycho coming.
You can fake it so good, should live in Hollywood,
where you can be a dime a dozen.
