“We’ve had periods of time in the band where we struggled both creatively and interpersonally,” the band’s Brandon Boyd explained in an interview with Atwood Magazine. Although their 1990s catalog was noted for their funk and alternative metal sound, later releases such as If Not Now, When? and 8 contain a softer, more pop inspired sound, with the latter record taking additional influences from electronica. The EP was a follow-up of Trust Fall (Side A), which originally came out in 2015 via Island.Īs a band that’s been active for three decades, Incubus has experimented with numerous sounds, garnering both praise and criticism for their vast musical diversity. Sony's suit also seeks attorney's fees and other unspecified relief.Trust Fall (Side B) was originally supposed to be followed by a summer 2020 tour alongside 311 and Badflower, however these concerts were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sony contends the claim is merely "a negotiation ploy designed to increase their bargaining power against Sony." In its suit, the label asks the court to stop Incubus from pursuing the case in California. Incubus band members Michael Einziger, Brandon Boyd, Jose Pasillas and Alex Katunich say in their lawsuit, filed last week, that they should be free to negotiate a contract with a competing record label in July 2003. Labels, on the other hand, contend such contracts are necessary, because they must spend a fortune to ensure musicians' success. The suit is one of many that have pitted musicians against their recording labels, with performers claiming they aren't fairly compensated when they sign long-term contracts. Incubus already has sued Sony in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming entertainers can't be tied to a company for more than seven years under California's labor law. Otherwise, the label estimates it could lose tens of millions of dollars. Sony asked a federal judge in Manhattan to force the band to abide by the terms of the contract.
