'Stellar' was the second single released from Make Yourself, and the video was played on MTV and TRL.
The single reached #3 in the Billboard Music Charts. 'Pardon Me' was released as a single and - as MTV began playing the video - the band began to gain a mainstream following.
Immediately they went out on tour again, this time with Primus. The album was a much more mainstream rock album than the experimental S.C.I.E.N.C.E. A live recording of the song 'New Skin' appeared on the Family Values compilation CD.Īfter touring with Black Sabbath, Incubus began recording Make Yourself, which was released on October 26, 1999.

INCUBUS BAND MUSIC MOVIE
Incubus collaborated with DJ Greyboy to produce the song 'Familiar' for the Spawn movie soundtrack in 1997. Many songs from Fungus Amongus were rereleased on Enjoy Incubus, but were touched up. Enjoy Incubus was released on Immortal Records on January 7 of that year, exactly two years after the band's second demo. On November 1, 1995, Fungus Amongus was released on the band's own label, Stopuglynailfungus Music on Chillum.īetween that release and their 1997 major label debut EP, Enjoy Incubus, the band acquired DJ Lyfe, who introduced hip-hop sounds to the band's already diverse mix of music. On January 7, 1995, the demo tape Incubus was released, featuring songs that would later appear on their first album, Fungus Amongus, and their EP, Enjoy Incubus. One song of interest from this demo was 'Bathe In My Snot', which harnessed much of the band's newly created energy. For the next few years, Incubus continued to play live and write music, which cumulated in their first demo recording released in 1994, titled Closet Cultivation.
In 1991, after adopting the name Incubus, the band began playing at parties in their neighborhood. At this time they began writing their own music. They asked their friend, Brandon Boyd to join and he became the vocalist.
They mostly played Metallica and Megadeth covers and were able to get a few gigs at friend's parties. Jose Pasillas, Alex Katunich, Mike Einziger began jamming together while at Calabasas High School in 1990.
