Incubus is an American alternative rock band from Calabasas, California. The band was formed in 1991 by vocalist Brandon Boyd, lead guitarist Mike Einziger, and drummer Jose Pasillas while enrolled in Calabasas High School. Incubus later expanded to include bassist Alex “Dirk Lance” Katunich, and Gavin “DJ Lyfe” Koppell; both of whom were eventually replaced by bassist Ben Kenney and DJ Kilmore respectively.

Incubus has attained commercial success, reaching multi-platinum sales, as well as releasing several successful singles, Dig & Drive especially.

The band have undergone many style changes over their long careers. Their early work, Fungus Amongus (1995) and S.C.I.E.N.C.E. (1997) were aggressive and clunky Funk Metal inspired by 80’s bands, such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

As the band earned mainstream recognition in the late 90’s and early 00’s their style matured significantly. Their albums Make Yourself and Morning View evolved into a more Post-Grunge sound.

The Band’s success continued with the album A Crow Left of the Murder… (2004). Their sixth studio album, Light Grenades, debuted at #1, their first and only #1 album.

Incubus' first greatest hits album Monuments and Melodies came out in June 2009. With their 2011 album If Not Now, When? the band developed a more Pop-Rock style. The band released their eighth studio album, titled 8, on April 21, 2017.
