Multi-platinum alternative rockers Incubus are gearing up to release Light Grenades their fifth studio album in November. The highly anticipated new album - which was produced by renowned producer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Korn) - is a mix of hard rocking songs and sublime ballads recorded over the last year in both Los Angeles and Atlanta. This is Incubus' first new music since A Crow Left of the Murder which spawned the hit "Megalomaniac."  Light Grenades is planned for release in November, 2006.

"It kicks, it bites, it loves, it hurts. It's the closest we've ever come to being the band we want to be" says singer Brandon Boyd. To get things started, Incubus hits the New York area on August 11^th when the band takes the stage in Atlantic City as special guest performers on VH1's Decades Live honoring The Pretenders. The band will join a lineup of extremely talented musicians such as Iggy Pop, Garbage's Shirley Manson, and Nashville's Kings of Leon to pay tribute to The Pretenders most famous tunes. The concert will air in the fall.

Boyd, Einziger and Pasillas formed Incubus in 1991 when they were high school classmates in Calabasas, California. DJ Kilmore joined in 1998. The band's big break came in 1999 with the singles, "Pardon Me," "Stellar" and "Drive" from their second full-length Make Yourself, which went double-platinum. The group's third album, Morning View was released in 2001, debuted at number two on the album chart and included the radio hits "Wish You Were Here," "Nice to Know You" and "Warning." Kenney joined the band in 2003. The most recent release from Incubus, A Crow Left of the Murder achieved platinum status and was released in 2004.

Incubus continues to stay active in the non-profit world with their charitable foundation, The Make Yourself Foundation. Since the inception of MYF in January 2004 Incubus has raised over $500,000 for charitable causes. During the past year and a half band members spent time with some of Make Yourself Foundation's beneficiaries, visiting with kids at The Painted Turtle, attending fundraising dinners for Heal The Bay, Surfrider Foundation, Life Rolls On and participating in the annual "Surfjam" benefiting the Surfrider foundation (Huntington Beach, CA). The Make Yourself Foundation remains close to Incubus' hearts and they look forward to hosting special events to raise money while on tour promoting their upcoming album.
