Obviously I like Incubus for their music. That's what got me interested in the first place - I still remember the day I heard Drive, at the musically immature age of 8. I spent a couple years hearing Drive on the car radio every now and then, without really knowing who the artist was, or caring. All that mattered back then was the sound of a song. Then when I was about 13, I discovered the expansive Incubus collection on my brother's Itunes. I started listening to all five albums (this was before Light Grenades was released) and I liked many of the songs. They only grew on me from there, and I began to understand the music, rather than just hearing it.

It was around this time I was inspired by Jose Pasillas' amazing drumwork, and I took up the drum kit. I was truly astounded by this drumming technique of which I had never heard before, complex yet pleasing to the ear. In songs like The Warmth, I remember turning the volume up to max to best hear the intricate high hat.
