In 1997, the band supported Korn on their European tour and promoted their first major label release, the six track 'Enjoy Incibus' EP. They released their first album 'Fungus Amongus' on their own label before later signing to Immortal Records which became Epic Records.
The band had to juggle early recordings around their school work, but in 1995 they completed their first two song EP with producer Gavin Koppell. They cut their teeth at some of the most infamous venues on the Los Angeles Sunset strip including The Roxy and The Troubadour. For a while the band were nameless, until being asked to provide one for an upcoming show and Incubus was born from there on.
Bungle, Red Hot Chili Peppers and their sound crosses the genres of alternative rock, heavy metal, funk and electro. Incubus influences include Faith No More, Mr. To hear them is to picture waves breaking on a California shoreline – some brashly, some gently, but all beautifully.Incubus was formed in 1991 by vocalist Brandon Boyd, guitarist Mike Einziger, bassist Alex Katunich and drummer Jose Pasillas, while the members were in high school. Circles and Just A Phase, for example, display a proggy, unhurried mastery of dynamics. Boasting, though it does, some of the band’s most famous and successful songs (Wish You Were Here, Are You In?), it’s in the deeper cuts that the gold really lays. Even more than that, though, is how boldly the band express themselves from their newly elevated platform, blending genres like an artist mixes paints on their palette. What makes Morning View so special? Its combination of great songs and peerless musicianship shot through with a tangible sense of where it was made certainly helps. Instead the band decamped to a beautiful house in Malibu for six months, got some sun and jammed – a group of friends just hanging out and making a masterpiece. Having achieved mainstream success with Make Yourself, it would have been easy for Incubus to dole out more of the same for its follow-up.
