Multi-platinum alt-rock icons Incubus, celebrating in 2017 the 20th anniversary of their major label album debut, are releasing the brand new single “Nimble Bastard” just in time for their first headlining North American tour since 2015, the 8 Tour. The 30-city run includes support by Arizona-based band Jimmy Eat World and begins July 6th and will come to New Jersey on Friday, July 14 (PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel) and Thursday, July 20 (BB&T Pavilion in Camden).
Incubus emerged from Calabasas, California, with their indie debut album Fungus Amongus in 1995. Starting with 1997’s S.C.I.E.N.C.E., they went on to release six studio albums on the Epic/Immortal label (the last three produced by Brendan O’Brien), achieving RIAA gold, platinum and multi-platinum success; as well as five live albums. Four of their songs have hit #1 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, including “Drive” (2000, also Top 10 Pop), “Megalomaniac” (2003), “Anna-Molly” (2006), and “Love Hurts” (2008).
“Nimble Bastard” is the first new music from 8, the aptly titled eighth studio album by Incubus, produced by Dave Sardy (Marilyn Manson, Oasis, Fall Out Boy, LCD Soundsystem, Rage Against The Machine). The album will be arriving this spring on Island Records.
Arizona rock band Jimmy Eat World, who Consequence of Sound coined “one of the best pop punk bands of all time,” has been on the road non-stop in support of their ninth studio album Integrity Blues (RCA). The quartet (Jim Adkins, Rick Burch, Zach Lind and Tom Linton) recorded Integrity Blues in Los Angeles with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Paramore, M83). The album which Rolling Stone called “some of the band’s most adventurous musical statement in years,” includes the hit single “Sure and Certain” along with other gems “You With Me,” “You Are Free” and the next single “Get Right.” Jimmy Eat World has achieved significant critical acclaim and success over the course of their career, including the multi-platinum breakout album Bleed American, with its four chart topping singles.
