Sometimes it just seems like all the good dirty band names are already taken: Snot, Vomit Launch, P. Diddy, Freak Nasty, Butthole Surfers, Texas Terri & the Stiff Ones, F---, Anal C---, Pee Shy, Eargasm, the Pooh Sticks. So, when Josey Scott and Chris D'abaldo came up with the name Saliva, they knew they had a keeper.

It was all the things these Memphis boys were looking for: sexy, provocative and sorta raunchy, just like the songs on their debut, Every Six Seconds. With a mix of Dirty South bounce, hard rock guitars and a little hometown boogie soul, Saliva's debut signals the rise of the new South, 2001-style.

Five years after forming in the seat of Elvis country, the group is living out the promise of the album's title (a reference to how often the average male thinks about sex), as their melodic single, "Your Disease," seems to be spinning on radio about that often. Hot on its heels, the boys promise to show a totally different side with their next single, the Ozzy Osbourne-meets-Cypress Hill rap/rock track "Click Click Boom."

But it's not just a simple story of southern boys done good, according to singer Scott and guitarist D'abaldo. As the pair told Joe D'Angelo, the path to success went through a grueling battle of the bands that brought out the riot police, the death of Scott's father and a stab at writing the theme song for their town's XFL team, the Memphis Maniax. You can be sure of one thing, though, when these guys plug in, the spit is going to hit the fan.
