MONUMENTS AND MELODIES - A TWO DISC GREATEST HITS ALBUM FROM MULTI-PLATINUM ARTIST INCUBUS

NEW SINGLE, “BLACK HEART INERTIA” TO IMPACT RADIO APRIL 16

BAND ANNOUNCE SUMMER TOUR DATES

EXCLUSIVE PRE-SALE OFFER AVAILABLE NOW AT http://incubus.skyroo.com

New York, NY – Multi-platinum Epic recording artist, Incubus, is gearing up to release MONUMENTS AND MELODIES, a two disc collection of the band’s greatest hits and rarities, on June 16. The collection is a must have for fans of the band whose extraordinary career has spanned over a decade, has spawned twelve Top 10 hits – four of those landing at # 1, and six studio albums, the last being Light Grenades which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200, marking the highest charting album debut of the band’s career.

To celebrate the release of MONUMENTS AND MELODIES, Incubus is offering fans the opportunity to pre-order the album from http://incubus.skyroo.com. The album pre-order automatically enters fans into an exclusive Internet pre-sale where they will be amongst the first to purchase tickets to an upcoming show on the band’s highly anticipated Monuments and Melodies Summer Tour. The tour will officially kick off July 9th at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre in San Diego, CA and will cover 31 major cities across the U.S. and Canada, including dates at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and two nights at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The two disc collection will be released in two configurations, a two disc CD, and a four disc LP. The first disc includes the band’s biggest hits including twelve Top 10 singles such as “Drive,” “Wish You Were Here” and “Pardon Me”, as well as two brand new tracks, “Black Heart Inertia” and “Midnight Swim” (both produced by Brendan O’Brien). The second disc consists of rarities that the band has recorded over the years, including a brand new cover of Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” Album artwork for MONUMENTS AND MELODIES was designed by lead singer, Brandon Boyd.

Adding to the rarities on the physical release, Incubus will launch the most comprehensive collection of Incubus audio, video, and photos in a new section of www.enjoyincubus.com called The Vault. Many of these items have never been seen or were released in limited editions. Each individual copy of the physical album will include a unique code that can be used to upgrade the users account at www.enjoyincubus.com and allow them to download all of this incredible Incubus material.

Following in the footsteps of the incredible radio story for the band’s single, “Love Hurts”, which went to # 1 at alternative radio and will impact Adult Top 40 on March 17, Incubus will release “Black Heart Inertia”, the first new single from MONUMENTS AND MELODIES, on April 16. Fans can log onto the band’s website to stream a 45-second sample of the track.

Brandon Boyd, Michael Einziger and Jose Pasillas II formed Incubus in 1991 when they were high school classmates in Calabasas, CA. Chris Kilmore joined in 1998 and Ben Kenney in 2003. The band’s big break came in 1999 with the release of the double-platinum selling album, Make Yourself, which included the singles: “Pardon Me,” “Stellar,” and “Drive”. The group’s third album, Morning View, released in 2001, debuted at number two on the album chart and included the radio hits “Wish You Were Here,” and “Nice To Know You.” The most recent release from Incubus, Light Grenades, blazed onto Billboard’s Top 200 in 2006, debuting at #1.

Can I not pre-order from Canada?

YAY! im so excited!!! see you guys when you come to detroit!
i was lucky enough to see you in 07 when you came, it was the best concert ever.

I must now change my pants. Thanks you

yay

finally! :]
can't wait july 26th!

I ordered my album but when are the tickets going on sale?! I want to buy ASAP! CANT WAIT!!! SO EXCITED!

I know a Denver date is not confirmed. But PLEASE do not do it in July!!!!! I realize an ideal time would be July 17th or 18th, and it would probably be at Red Rocks, but I will be in South America!!!!! I am prepared to drive to Phoenix in August for this, but PLEASE play Denver in mid-August. Or even better, play both! Smiling You are still my favorite band ever, and I have the CD preordered already. I'll be seeing you sometime this summer.

Im so excited!
I heard the first 40 seconds of Black Heart Inertia, and I love it allready.
My only objection to this matter is, that I can't see any european dates on your tour?
I hope you'll swing by Europe (im kinda hoping Denmark, because thats where I live-ish)!

I have been so excited at the rumors of a tour!!! Pre-orderd the new set.... Yea!
I am a few hours away from Tampa, Fl and I will be there!!! I think I swallowed a fly from jumping around and WOO HOO'ing.

My grandfather passed away yesterday morning as I held his hand, from cancer and I thought that my mourning would not get a "break". Kudos and thanks for making my crazy week amazing as well... All my soul to INCUBUS!

live greener and love often, Cori

Fabulous - typically, T.O. is the only stop Incubus will make in Canada.

Come oooon.... Smiling

I am so excited for this summer tour!!! And for this greatest hits double disc!!! When is the ticket pre-sale??? April 16th? And when do we know the pre-sale code to get the tickets?

I do agree that pre sales should be allowed outside of the USA, but hey, I'll just have someone ship it to me if need be.

Guess I'm heading back to St. Louis for a short while just to see a concert.

Keep doing what you all do and my time you come to St Louis I'll have my MBA! Good way to celebrate!

Great news! The tracklist is awsome! The sun is rising! We only 2 months and a half far from summer! I'm almost finishing 9th grade!
I'll have to wait 'till the album come out around here...
And I guess this summer I won't see Incubus live... Allright, I still got a chance with Da Weasel xD
kisses, Vânia

You guys aren't coming to Colorado, we love you here. The moment i heard that you were coming out with a greatest hits i was hoping that you guys would stop by in Colorado somewhere. I don't care where or when, but i will be there, rain or shine.

Seen you guys everytime you've been to New Zealand.....

If you are going to do a World Tour to promote this awesome album please don't forget little ole us!!!!!

Incubus rules.....

Yay, new album soooo excited. Hopefully i'll actually be able to convince my hubby to let me go see them this year in either Toronto or Philly, no way he'll let me go all the way to NYC lol:D

Incubus,Brandon Boyd

I wanna get the new album and get the pre-order tickets for the concert in Toronto Canada. However there is no pre-order outside USA.
I think that's kinda disappointing.

I hope there will be lot's of European tour dates !
+ BELGIUM please, it's been so long ago !!
Can't wait for the album xxx
!

::SPEAK FREE::

Why can't we pre-order from Canada?? Please!

Chicago on the 21st of July, best birthday present ever!!

Why can't we pre-order to Canada? That doesn't make sense! We want pre-sale tickets too!

Freaking out isn't the word.

PORFAVOR VENGAN A CHILE OTRA VES PORFAVOR

VUELVAN A SUR AMERICA PLISSSSSSSSS
PoRFAVOR

How come I can't preorder the album in Canada?!?! And why only one Canadian tour date??

I screamed & I did my happy dance. I know my roommate must have thought I've gone berserk.

You all are finally coming back to NC! I bought the CD. I can't wait to get my front row seat!
How can we get backstage passes? First 50 replies to this post? huh? Smiling

i think you guys should play the Voodoo Music Experience this year! it would be a dream come true, HALLOWEEN WEEKEND IN NEW ORLEANS BABY!!!!!!

I am sooo happy after reading this! I can't wait for the greatest hits or the CONCERT IN KC. IT'S GOING TO BE MY FIRST CONCERT AND I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Little bit peeved that I can't get this CD...Not fair that only US residents can get their hands on it!
... and also, tis VERY VERY unfair that this tour is only limited to the US.
As a huge fan, I feel it's only necessary to include international dates (preferably in England!)... as I, and like many other UK Incubus fans, don't have the cash to travel such a long way.
Something must be done!
Ok, the only possibility is that I seriously fundraise enough money to fly, and pay for a gig, and possible fly home afterward...
OR... the easiest thing for us lot over here in poor old cloudy England, would be for our dear old friends from Incubus to organise time to come here!!!!!!

Long shot, huh?

Lol, ah well, shall have to soldier on until they return...

:'(
