New York, NY (September 2, 2025) – Following recent discussions online about the legacy of Saliva, the band has released a new single “Hit ‘Em Where It Hurts”, available across all digital streaming platforms.

Vocalist Bobby Amaru shares “‘Hit ’Em Where It Hurts’ is an anthem about proving people wrong, not with words, but with action. I sincerely wish him the best, but this song is really for the fans who’ve stood by us, and for anyone who’s ever had to fight for what they believe in. To me, it’s about resilience, loyalty, and never backing down. That’s exactly what Saliva should stand for.”

Saliva recently announced they will be hitting the road later this month to kick off a string of shows with support from earshot, the Founder ft. Austin John Winkler and LYLVC on select dates. The run kicked off this past weekend in Tower, Minnesota.

Saliva’s career launched in 2001 with the release of Every Six Seconds, a certified Double Platinum-selling album, containing the hits, “Click Click Boom” and 2002 Grammy nominated, “Your Disease.” Saliva’s in-your-face, anthemic writing style continued with a certified Gold-selling album Back In To Your System that contained top singles “Always,” “Raise Up,” and the Nikki Sixx co-written, “Rest In Pieces.” Despite original vocalist Josey Scott leaving the band in 2011, the addition of Bobby Amaru brought a contemporary feel to the band, all while staying true to the band’s blue collar roots. Amaru has been the Saliva frontman for the past decade plus and was featured on the most recent releases; Rise Up, Love Lies and Therapy, 10 Lives, Every Twenty Years EP, and Revelation.

Shortly before the release of the most recent album, Saliva guitarist Wayne Swinny passed away unexpectedly. The “Come Back Stronger” video was notably filmed just days before Swinny’s death, and was dedicated to the fallen guitarist . The album went on to be highly acclaimed by critics and the singles “Crows” & “High On Me” charted Top 20 on Billboard’s Active Rock chart. The band continues to honor ‘Uncle Wayne’ at every show.

With nearly 4M monthly listeners and Spotify and a catalog that boasts more than 1 billion streams, the popularity of the music, old and new, endures.

To celebrate the release of Revelation: Retold earlier in this year, the new deluxe album from Saliva, the band released a music video for “Horizon” ft. Kevin Martin of Candlebox, honoring their musical legacy with never-before-seen clips of late founding guitarist, Wayne Swinny, on stage and in the studio. The new deluxe record is available on Judge & Jury Records, a powerhouse record label and production company founded by multi-platinum producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Seether, Skillet, Of Mice & Men) and Neil Sanderson of Three Days Grace. The track was recorded at Valley Recording Studios, Benson’s studio in Woodland Hills.

Saliva is Bobby Amaru (vocals), Brad Stewart (bass), Josh Kulack (guitar), Sebastian LaBar (guitar) and Sammi Jo Bishop (drums).
