They started getting darker and heavier, exploring the realm of nu metal. They were clearly influenced by funk bands in their early years, and with this 1997 album, they turned a corner. Then Incubus released S.C.I.E.N.C.E., and everything changed. Sony placed the band on their Epic Records sub-label, and in 1997, the famous EP Enjoy Incubus was released, just before Incubus was asked to tour with Korn across Europe.
Their big break came about in 1996, when Sony decided to pick them up for a staggering seven-record deal. That was the year that the band released their first album, Fungus Amongus, and they decided that the only way to have complete creative control over the album was to put it on their own label entitled Stopuglynailfungus Music (that’s not a typo). In 1995, they decided to become a quartet and added DJ Lyfe to their roster. Their shows went so well that the young trio decided to put some of their tunes onto tape at a little studio in Santa Monica after school hours. While they were still in their teens, they were able to book gigs at the famed clubs along the Sunset Strip just as the big-haired, garishly-dressed bands of the 1980s were fading from popularity and a weird new sound called grunge was taking over. It all began when they were attending Calabasas High School. They’ve added to their lineup over the years to fill out their sound, but these three original founding members have stuck it out for 26 incredible years. Since 1991, Brandon Boyd has been belting on the mic, Mike Einziger has been raging on the guitar, and Jose Pasillas has been keeping time on the drums. Perhaps the most surprising aspect about the all-American alt-rock band Incubus is their tenacity. You could say, however, that they have seduced both women and men for over two decades with their ever-changing yet unique tunes. In fact, they’re one of the most successful bands of all time. This long-running California rock band may have taken their now-famous name from this spooky demon, but they’re not that frightening. This creature is a demon who has a penchant for selecting and seducing women, which sometimes would result in a child (succubi were female demons who seduced men). B race yourself for some history! In ancient Mesopotamia, we saw the first mention of a creature akin to an incubus.
