the band's first song, 'love sick', sounded like an incubus track, but it was totally stripped down, yet had elements of funk and thrash in it. a few months later the trio came across brandon's vocal abilities, and they decided to form a band, and gave up playing cover songs, in order to write their own. these covers helped them land a few party gigs, and the three became the 'entertainment for the neighborhood'. at first they mainly played metallica and megadeth cover songs, which jose was not too interested in, but played nevertheless. the trio decided to jam a bit, simply for the love of music. later, while attending calabasas high, the pair became friends with bassist alex katunich, who had just been kicked out of jazz band at the time for not knowing how to read music. wright middle school, jose met guitarist mike einziger, who spent most of his time playing guitar in his bedroom. Vocalist brandon boyd and drummer jose pasillas went to elementary school together. Simply for the love of music - the history of incubus
