DROWNING POOL & SALIVA Announce Co-Headlining U.S. Tour Celebrating 25 Years of Sinner and Every Six Seconds

Twenty-five years after releasing two of the most recognizable albums in modern hard rock, Drowning Pool and Saliva are joining forces for a special co-headlining U.S. tour celebrating the legacies of Sinner and Every Six Seconds.

 

Launching October 8 and running through October 25, the tour brings together two bands whose breakout records became the soundtrack of the early 2000s. Rather than looking back, both acts are bringing the energy that made them festival favorites while continuing to evolve with new music, new lineups, and decades of road-tested performances.

 

Released in 2001, Drowning Pool's debut album Sinner became one of the defining heavy records of its era, propelled by timeless anthems including "Bodies," "Tear Away," and "Sinner." The album helped launch the band onto the global stage and remains a cornerstone of modern hard rock.

 

That same year, Saliva exploded onto radio with Every Six Seconds, delivering unforgettable hits including "Click Click Boom," "Your Disease,"and "Always." The album established the band as one of the era's biggest rock acts and continues to resonate with fans more than two decades later.

 

"We are beyond grateful and thankful to still be here rockin out with everyone after 25 Years of Letting the Bodies Hit the Floor!  Looking forward to sharing the stage on tour again with our friends in Saliva performing the 25th Anniversary of two amazing albums! A very sincere thank you to all of the amazing friends and family who have supported us throughout this Rock & Roll Roller coaster ride that we’ve all had together! Come share this once in a lifetime experience of celebrating 25 years of Sinner with us!" says CJ Pierce.

HEMLOCK Unleashes New Video for “Crooked Smile” Ahead of Pigeonholed Vinyl Re-Release

HEMLOCK and Continental Touring are proud to announce the release of a brand-new official video for “Crooked Smile,” arriving just in time for the long-awaited vinyl re-release of their landmark album Pigeonholed available on vinyl for the first time ever in celebration of its 25-year anniversary.

 

Originally produced in 2001 by Mikey Doling (Snot, Soulfly, Channel Zero) in Malibu, California, “Crooked Smile” has returned with renewed intensity, capturing the raw power and chaos that Hemlock has built their legacy on. To honor the anniversary release, the band made the decision to not only press the album on vinyl for the first time, but to also bring the song to life visually with a new performance-driven video.

 

Filmed and edited by Gearly Beloved Productions, the “Crooked Smile” video pulls footage from two explosive live performances delivering the kind of unfiltered stage energy Hemlock fans know all too well. It’s loud, real, and unapologetic… a celebration of the scars, the survival, and the crooked grin that comes with it.

 

“Crooked Smile” is more than a song, it’s a rally cry for the misfits and the battle-tested. It’s about taking what’s broken, what healed wrong, and turning it into something ferociously alive.

Till-Fest (Leipzig, Germany) w/ Till Lindemann, Ministry, and more

Sticky Fingers (Marktredwitz, Germany) w/ Tankard, Stick To Your Guns, and more

 

Additional European dates (23 more shows) will be announced soon.

"For me, The Opposite of December... represents everything I absorbed as a teenager: the shows, the music, the raw energy of hardcore and punk. I never imagined that record would still resonate 25 years later. Seeing people continue to connect with it inspires me every day, and I'm so grateful for the opportunities this band has given me," says singer Jeff Moreira. "This upcoming tour is so much more than just a series of shows. It's a celebration of that record, its impact, and the journey we've shared together. We've worked hard to make it special in every way — from the lineup, featuring Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist, to the merch, the setlist, and the production. It's all about honoring The Opposite of December... and the listeners who've supported us through the years."

He finishes, "For this to be our first tour in 15 years feels unreal. I can't wait to celebrate with everyone in April. Open the door for your friend."
