Hailing from Calabasas, California, Incubus emerged from the ashes of Calabasas High School in 1991. The initial lineup featured vocalist Brandon Boyd, guitarist Mike Einziger, and drummer José Pasillas. They later added bassist Alex "Dirk Lance" Katunich and DJ Lyfe (Gavin Koppel), before solidifying their classic lineup with bassist Ben Kenney and DJ Kilmore. In 2024, Nicole Row took over bass duties from Kenney.
Incubus' journey to multi-platinum success wasn't overnight. While their early albums, Fungus Amongus (1995) and S.C.I.E.N.C.E. (1997), laid the groundwork, it was 1999's Make Yourself that propelled them into the mainstream. The album spawned several hits, most notably the chart-topping anthem "Drive." This success continued with Morning View (2001) and A Crow Left of the Murder... (2004). The band cemented their status with their #1 debut album, Light Grenades (2006), followed by the greatest hits compilation Monuments and Melodies (2009), and the studio album If Not Now, When (2011). Incubus further demonstrated their creative output with the Trust Fall (Side A) EP (2015) and their eighth studio album, simply titled 8, in 2017. Their enduring career showcases a band that consistently evolved and delivered, establishing them as a cornerstone act of alternative rock.
