Saliva are back with “Cope,” a new single featuring Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch, out now via Judge & Jury Records. Produced by Cameron Pierce Mizell (Machine Gun Kelly, Sleeping with Sirens) and Luke Fiadino, the track pairs Bobby Amaru’s crisp rap cadence with McNevan’s soaring vocals to deliver something that consciously echoes the sonic territory of Saliva’s No. 1 modern rock hit “Always” and their No. 2 mainstream rock hit “Your Disease.”
Both Amaru and McNevan share a genuine passion for reaching people struggling with addiction and personal demons, and that mutual commitment shapes every line of “Cope.” “It’s for every kid who feels too much, thinks too hard, and is just trying to make it through the noise,” says Amaru. McNevan adds that the song captures the moment of hitting bottom and realizing the only way forward is surrender. That’s not easy territory to navigate in a rock song, but “Cope” handles it with honesty and directness.
