Incubus - 8 - 180

Incubus is an American rock band from Calabasas, California. The group was formed in 1991 by vocalist Brandon Boyd, lead guitarist Mike Einziger, and drummer José Pasillas while they were students at Calabasas High School. The lineup later expanded to include bassist Alex ""Dirk Lance"" Katunich and Gavin ""DJ Lyfe"" Koppel. Both were eventually replaced, Ben Kenney took over on bass, and DJ Kilmore joined as the band's turntablist. In 2024, Nicole Row replaced Kenney on bass. Incubus' sound has been described as a blend of rap metal, funk, jazz, and post-grunge, often incorporating elements of hip-hop. This eclectic style helped them become one of the most popular alternative metal bands of the early 2000s. The band has achieved significant commercial success, earning multiple multi-platinum releases and producing several hit singles. In 2017, they released their eighth full-length studio album, 8, with Skrillex contributing to production and mixing. The album debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200, while it's lead single, ""Nimble Bastard,"" reached #4 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart. Incubus 8 includes an insert with song lyrics.
