"Twister" by Saliva

Memphis hard rock and sometimes rap band Saliva formed in 1996 and was making waves by 2001 when their track "Your Disease" started to make inroads at radio. Their first chart appearance came in 2003 when "Always" hit #51. 

They'd see chart action just one more time when the stellar ballad written by Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue, Sixx A.M.), "Rest In Pieces," peaked at #93 - it deserved so much better! Despite a bevy of fist-pumping anthems about rock and roll, stardom, Southern girls, and being a badass, the band has yet to get back on the charts. Lead singer Josey Scott left by 2012, but the band carried on with Bobby Amaru as his replacement.

Within the extensive catalog by the band, there are plenty of moments when they steer into more radio-friendly and melodic territory. Such is the case with "Twister," an infectious song from their 2007 record, "Blood Stained Love Story."
