Incubus Make Up For Lost Time

After a postponement and cancellation, Incubus finally made it back to Toronto, and their fans were enraptured. But first, they had to sit through a set by The Bravery. The New York band fought the phenomenon of opening act anonymity by hanging an enormous poster with their name emblazoned in huge letters. The former Killers nemeses warmed up...

Incubus — Light Grenades

Incubus have always been slagged by critics for their mainstream appeal, but their detractors often overlook the band's consistent level of experimentation and musical ingenuity. On their sixth album, however, the SoCal quintet have proven the critics right with their most commercially accessible album yet. On its better songs, Light Grenades...

Incubus — A Crow Left Of The Murder

Sometimes, it seems like bands purposely thrust themselves into a scene that has nothing to do with the music they make. Then the band stands out and seems "weird" or "different" when they're really just hocking the same old pop/rock to different clients. So while Incubus may feel that they're unique with this album, they're...

Religious Group Protests Incubus' Philippines Show

in
Apparently someone out there didn't get the memo that no one in Incubus is actually a demon.Sure, while the Calabasas, Calif. band might be named after a male demon who lies on sleeping people to have sex with them, it's just... a name after all. So Incubus were probably pretty surprised when they heard about a religious group in the Philippines...

Tommy Lee Goes Bezerk

Tommy Lee has started a project that's all kinds of nu-metal-tastic, and it's called Bezerk. At any rate, Bezerk includes drummers from several nu-metal bands, including Velvet Revolver's Matt Sorum, Incubus' Jose Pasillas and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith (who it seems will play with just about anybody at this point). The group also...

The band themselves found it somewhat soon to be releasing a career retrospective, but when you think about their output since they broke through with 1999's Make Yourself, you begin to realize the California quintet have had...
