And so we came up with this idea to set up shop in this art gallery in Los Angeles and do the Incubus HQ and fly listeners in from different corners of the world and do these live broadcasts on the Internet. Because what we were forced to do was we were forced into ingenuity. So it was hard and it was frustrating but it was also very telling for us and perhaps educational.
#Incubus band industrial free#
During the shakeup at Epic Records and Sony’s restructuring, Incubus sort of fell between the cracks and dealt with “a real lack of direction and leadership just when we needed it most.” Surprisingly, Boyd isn’t bitter about the experience and notes that it left the band free to start exploring other options, including put more effort towards connecting directly with their fans:
So what we’re kind of doing is trying to get our bearings as to what we should do next, just as a band but also as a band that is kind of off in new territory again.įortunately for Boyd, he’s not completely unprepared for life without a label. We are, for the first time since 1996, we are free agents again. Now, faced with heading out label-less for the first time, Boyd has a refreshingly realistic outlook on the challenges he and his band face in the future. With his band Incubus, Boyd rode possibly the last big wave (nu-metal) crafted by the labels. Brandon Boyd has seen both ends of the music industry.
