Incubus eye October release for new album Something in the Water
Frontman Brandon Boyd has revealed the rock band are hoping to drop the follow-up to 2017's 8 in three months' time - and hinted they have much more music in them yet.
The band felt re-energised after recruiting bassist and singer, Nicole Row, who toured with Miley Cyrus in 2017 and Panic! at the Disco between 2018 and 2023.
He told People: "I definitely feel like it is a new era for us.
"For a number of reasons. Revisiting Morning View at the Hollywood Bowl initially was a terrifying challenge. We had never done it before. We played the bowl a handful of times, and it's always an amazing experience. It's kind of like our home game, so to speak."
He continued: "But then we did the show... and it was like, 'Oh, we did it.' That was going to be really hard. And it ended up being really fun, and it went by really fast."
Brandon explained: "Between the Morning View experience and Nicole, that was sort of the kickstart. It was sort of the end of the pandemic era, into now, it feels like our windshield got polished, and all of a sudden, it was like, oh, we have so much here.
"There's so much kind of in our history and our sort of burgeoning legacy, if you will. But there's also so much music in us that still has yet to see the light of day, and this is still so much fun."
The Drive rockers still have a "blast" together, even though the 49-year-old star admits, naturally, there are "scarier, darker parts of life that come creeping in".
He went on: "It's mostly fun still, even despite the scarier, darker parts of life that come creeping in no matter who you are, this thing that we do together is still a blast."
Teasing their next album, he said: "This new record, Something in the Water, we're going to call it. I don't know when it's going to come out, but we were thinking about putting out the whole record in October."
In April, projections featuring the album's title were shared along the River Thames and onto the band's Instagram account, showing footage from locations including the Houses of Parliament and the Tower of London.
Fans walking to their O2 gig from nearby North Greenwich station passed giant posters stuck to the ground featuring a QR code which, when scanned, took them to a pre-order link for the record.

Justin Bieber says he 'doesn't deserve forgiveness'
Justin Bieber receives "forgiveness and love" that he "truly [doesn't] deserve". The 31-year-old pop star has taken to social media to open up about his faith, revealing that he "wouldn't be able" to get through the day without love from Jesus. Justin - who is married to model Hailey Bieber - wrote on Instagram: "grateful for a new day. "grateful for Jesus "he meets me every morning with forgiveness and love "that I truly don't deserve "so grateful that he gives this love so freely, so graciously "Wouldn't be able to get thru the day without his love. "It meets me at my lowest. (sic)" Justin's post featured a selfie of the pop star wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jacket while looking into the camera. The chart-topping singer also shared a screenshot of the post on his Instagram Stories, alongside Lord Do It For Me by Zacadi Cortez. Justin has been married to Hailey since 2018, but speculation has swirled in recent months about the status of their relationship. Despite this, Justin insisted earlier this year that marrying Hailey is the one of the "smartest" decisions he's ever made. The pop star - who previously dated Selena Gomez - told Vogue magazine: "I've done a lot of dumb things in my life, but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey." Justin also pushed back against the online criticism that Hailey often faces. He said: "She's in the spotlight, and has the attention because of her effortless knack for style, business, art and fashion. And the way she makes being a mom and wife look easy." Hailey, 28, has previously made concerted efforts to "correct" the online narrative. However, she's found those efforts to be futile and she's now learning from her husband's approach to life. The model - who has enjoyed huge success with her Rhode skincare brand - shared: "I've learned so much from Justin, really. "He's been doing this literally since he was a child and he has had to face the most scrutiny of any person that I know. He was like, 'Baby, trust me, I've been here before many, many times. You're not going to win. There is no winning.'"

Taylor Swift's cheeky jab to critics in new interview alongside boyfriend Travis Kelce
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Taylor Swift has taken a cheeky swipe at her critics just one day after the announcement of her twelfth studio album sent fans into meltdown. In a brief new promo for her highly-anticipated appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast, New Heights – which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason – Swift referenced backlash over all the attention her presence at his NFL games had attracted throughout their relationship. 'Thanks for having me on my favourite podcast,' Swift, 35, told the siblings. She then joked: 'As we all know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast, and I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens … it's more of me.' Earlier, Jason had provided a breathless, enthusiastic introduction for Swift, describing her as 'the most-awarded artist in the history of the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and iHeart Radio Music Awards', pointing out she'd won 14 Grammys. 'She is the only artist in the history to an album of the year. Last December, she wrapped up the Eras Tour, which spanned 149 shows across 51 cities, five continents. It was the most-attended tour of all time. Of all time! ' … Are you ready for it? Making your podcast debut, the most expensive guest in the history of shows – Taylor Swift!' The singer was seen stifling giggles throughout the monologue, telling him at the end: 'That intro Jason, oh my God … His soul has left his body. That was so good, that was so sweet.' Swift has given an interview on her boyfriend's podcast. Picture: Instagram The latest promo comes after Swift once again sent fans into a frenzy, re-emerging after months under the radar to reveal she's about to release her twelfth studio album: The Life of a Showgirl. The singer popped up in the first teaser for her boyfriend's podcast, in which the couple appeared alongside each other and engaged in some flirty banter about how well they 'match' before dropping the big news. 'So I wanted to show you something … This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl,' Swift said as she held up the album, with Kelce adding, 'TS12!' The full podcast episode will drop early Thursday morning, Australian time. On Tuesday, Kelce also offered a rare glimpse into his romance with Swift, telling GQ magazine about how they fell in love. 'Whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people,' Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, explained. 'When there is not a camera on us, we're just two people that are in love. 'It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about, and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out. 'But I would say that it's as normal of … it happened very organically, even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked. It still happened very organically.' Kelce added that he and Swift, both 35, 'fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with.' 'We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the f**k off.' Kelce and Swift after the Chiefs victory over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game in Kansas City on January 26. Picture: AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, File The singer's presence at some of the games and the attention it attracts has sparked some criticism among football fans. Picture:The pair first unveiled their romance in September 2023 when Swift was spotted cheering her three-time Super Bowl-winning boyfriend on during a home game. Kelce and Swift went on to make several loved-up public appearances over the months that followed, with the athlete even popping up on stage in a cameo during his girlfriend's sold-out Eras Tour last year. According to Kelce, their mutual support and respect for each other's work has brought them even closer together. 'I hadn't experienced somebody in the same shoes as me, having a partner who understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions,' he explained to GQ. 'That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows. She may not think of herself as an athlete. She will never tell anyone that she is an athlete. But I've seen what she goes through. 'I've seen the amount of work that she puts on her body, and it's mind-blowing.'

'A proper f****** rock band': Chrissie Hynde had the best time seeing Oasis live with pal Johnny Marr
Chrissie Hynde says the Oasis Live '25 Tour is "exactly what the world needs right now". The Pretenders frontwoman attended one of the Britpop legends' Wembley Stadium gigs with old bandmate Johnny Marr, and also bumped into supermodel Kate Moss - who, she says, "missed her calling" as a singer. Updating fans on Instagram , she penned: 'James and I went with @johnnymarrgram to see @oasis the other week. They were great as one would expect.' Praising support act Richard Ashcroft, she said: 'Saw a bunch of old pals in the audience and was dancing with Kate Moss to support act, the excellent voiced @richardashcroftofficial." She continued: 'I always remind Kate that she missed her calling, and could've been a singer. She reminded me that, 'For me, it was either Woolworths or modelling.' Because Kate rarely does interviews (unlike every other celebrity on the planet) people don't know what a riot she is. Well, she is, and now you know…' Moving on to the main event, the 73-year-old rocker hailed the Supersonic hitmakers - who are playing their first concerts in 16 years, after brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher put their long-standing feud behind them - "a proper f****** rock band". She said: 'Oasis were in great form. 'There is still nothing better than a rock band doing their thing with a minimal light show and no extra people cluttering the stage. In other words, a proper f****** rock band! Exactly what the world needs now.'
