Incubus

While on tour with Hoobastank, Incubus released the first single from “Morning View” titled “I Wish You Were Here”. I distinctly remember this song, as it was a favorite of my girlfriend at the time, as were many off this cd. My personal favorite from this cd was “Circles”. Other mentionable tracks are “Echo” (Ex-girlfriend Abbi’s favorite, by far.) and “Have You Ever”.

“Morning View” was named after the street the mansion where they recorded this album was on. My idea was wrong, I admit, but I could have been right. Released on October 23rd, 2001, it started at #2 on the charts, selling over 400,000 copies its first week. “Wish You Were Here” landed them on Letterman, Mtv’s TRL, and by December of 2001, “Morning View” had already gone platinum — less than 2 months after its release. Good job, fellas.

With 5 songs in the top 50, Incubus was doing well, to say the least, to start 2002. January 2002 brought a video for “Nice to Know You”, as well as appearances on Letterman (again), Leno, and a revolving place on MTV’s TRL. Ready to set sail for Japan and Australia until the end of March, Incubus was energetic and flying high, not to mention, enjoying themselves.
