With a little over a month left on its last touring leg in support of the 2004 album “Survival of the Sickest,” Saliva singer Josey Scott tells Billboard.com the band is already looking forward to recording its fifth studio release. “The Rise and Fall of a Glorified Kingdom” is due out in the first quarter of 2006 via Island.
“I think with all of our albums, we’ve thrown our fans a curveball but we’ve continued to be Saliva,” Scott says. “I think it’s going to probably be a very alternative record. It’s going to be a romantic record. It’s what’s been happening in our lives over the last year and a half. It’s going to be a documentation of what we’ve been going through.”
Halfway through the pre-production process, Saliva has roughly 30 tracks in the mix, with plans to enter the studio in December. Although the band is known more for its rap/metal beginnings and post-grunge aesthetic, it sounds as though Saliva may have a few ballads on “Rise and Fall.”
“There definitely might be a few of those on the record,” Scott says. “I think we’ve continued to evolve. Like Elvis [Presley] said, ‘Music changes every six months and you have to change with it.’ I think that we aspire to be around like an Aerosmith or U2 in the aspect that we’re willing to go anywhere.”

It's been a big year for My Chemical Romance. The New Jersey emo band's second album, last year's "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge," finally drew the notice of mainstream music magazines like Rolling Stone.
My Chemical Romance also scored a gig opening for Green Day and headlined this summer's incarnation of the Warped Tour. Now, with a third album due in November, the band is headlining on its own, with Alkaline Trio and Reggie and the Full Effect.
The tour stops Sunday, Oct. 16 at the Connecticut Expo Center, 265 Rev. Moody Overpass, Hartford. Tickets are $19.99 for the 7 p.m. show.
Rocker Gerard Way is begging My Chemical Romance fans not to buy the group's hit new album "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" this week and donate the money to charity instead.
The singer wants fans to plough money into relief efforts for the victims of Hurricane Katrina and believes album money should be given away instead.
"If you're gonna go buy our record this week, don't buy our record just donate to the Red Cross or anything you think can help the hurricane victims," Way said, speaking on MTV's Total Request Live show yesterday.
Way insists the goth-rockers are planning to do everything
OREM - It took just a few songs of My Chemical Romance's set Wednesday for the combination of glam-rock moves, hard-rock riffs and unabashed adoration from fans to spark a memory.
It was a memory of Tommy Gnosis, the beautiful man-child in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" who copied Hedwig's songs and style and turned them into platinum. I'm not saying My Chemical Romance leader Gerard Way and his band stole anything that was on display at the nearly full McKay Events Center, but the group owes a debt to the artists who no doubt inspired "Hedwig;"
