California's alt-rock stars Incubus are connoisseurs of the bizarre, always looking for the next sound you've never heard. They mix two parts skronky riff rock with one part off-beat funk, one magic mushroom and a healthy sprinkling of general, percussive freaking out. They're also one of the hardest working bands out there today. Knowing that their sound had a limited but intense appeal, Incubus chose to build their fan base from the stage rather than catering to a pop radio market and changing their sound for a hit single. Singer Brandon Boyd claims to have found the band's name in a dictionary, defined as "a spirit" and they started using it as a temporary measure til they could think of something better. They adopted turntablist Chris Kilmore when he approached them after a gig in the mid-90's-predating the nu metal explosion, this gave them a totally unique sound. Their debut major label LP was named S.C.I.E.N.C.E. The freaky mix sees Kilmore proving his worth on the track "Magic Medicine" and the band flaunts their sense of humor on "A Certain Shade of Green." Incubus continued touring and earning devoted fans til the 2001 release of Morning View, where they showed they could keep it just as intense by keeping it mellow as they did by keeping it loud. Their cover of Pink Floyd's classic "Wish You Were Here" displayed a soaring anguish that fit the song perfectly. Since then, Incubus has branched out even further artistically, taking fans on an "instrumental voyage into the world of psychedelic funk" with the Space Time Consortium project and getting louder and weirder on 2006's Light Grenades.
