BIO

Saliva first exploded onto the hard rock scene with anthems like “Click Click Boom” and “Your Disease,” the latter earning a Grammy nomination. Their major label debut, Every Six Seconds (2001), went double-platinum, followed by 2002’s Back Into Your System, which delivered more charting hits including “Always,” “Raise Up,” and “Rest In Pieces.”

Over the years, Saliva has evolved through lineup changes while maintaining their signature intensity. Since 2011, frontman Bobby Amaru has led the band through multiple studio releases (Rise Up in 2013; Love, Lies & Therapy in 2016; 10 Lives in 2018; Every Twenty Years EP in 2021; and Revelation in 2023).

In 2023, Saliva suffered the devastating loss of founding guitarist Wayne Swinny, whose legacy continues to be honored through their music and live shows.  Reflecting on his passing, frontman Bobby Amaru said, “This band meant more to Wayne than music itself, and he wanted us to continue in its current form.” That spirit of loyalty and perseverance remains at the heart of Saliva’s journey forward.”

Most recently, the band released Revelation: Retold (2025), a deluxe reimagining of their 2023 album featuring guest vocals, unreleased tracks, and fresh takes on fan favorites. Tracks like “Time Bomb,” “Horizon,” and “Devil’s World” showcase Saliva’s resilience and creative evolution.

Current lineup:
• Bobby Amaru – vocals
• Brad Stewart – bass
• Sebastian LaBar – guitar
• Josh Kulack – guitar
• Sammi Jo Bishop – drums

With a catalog that spans over two decades, millions of streams, and a reputation for electrifying live performances, Saliva continues to carve their place in the rock landscape. Honoring their past while forging ahead with unshakable momentum.
