Saliva, Saturday, July 20

 

"In every life, there are moments of revelation. Some are tragic, like near death experiences or divorce. Others are joyous, such as birth, new love or a career breakthrough. But both kinds leave indelible stamps on the individuals experiencing them.

 

For gold-selling Memphis turbo-rockers Saliva, the past couple years of their decade-long career have brought an ocean swell of such change. One or more members have had children, stopped drinking, ended longterm relationships, gotten married and/or left the group, and each instance has been accompanied by a new sense of clarity.

As a result, Saliva's fifth album Blood Stained Love Story resounds with a previously untapped level of passion, energy, sincerity and diversity, not to mention an undeniable melodicism that will endear the band to anyone that feels any sort of connection between reality and music."
