LOS ANGELES, April 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Alternative
Rock heroes, Incubus and Deftones, announced today
they will set out on a co-headlining summer tour visiting nearly 20
cities throughout the United
States with more to be announced. The tour, produced by Live
Nation, will kick off on July 22 at
the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Mich. and take the two bands to
New York City, Chicago, Boston, Houston, Dallas and more before wrapping up on
August 30 in San Diego, Cali. Death From Above 1979 and The
Bots will join the tour as special guests. Tickets go on sale
beginning April 24 at
www.livenation.com.
Multi-platinum alternative rock
heavyweights Incubus recently signed with Island
Records, and will release 4-song EP entitled Trust Fall
(Side A) on May 12.
After nearly two years off the grid conceptualizing and recording
new material, Incubus, under the management of
Johnny Wright at Wright
Entertainment Group, has its sights set on a
"non-traditional" album in 2015. Founding
member Mike
Einziger told Billboard.com that although
the band didn't have "any plans of making this record" the new
music is "pretty indicative of where we are now. This is what the
band sounds like in 2015." The EP's digital pre-order is available
on iTunes, and the CD and vinyl versions of the EP can be
pre-ordered now HERE. Twenty years since the release of
their indie debut album in 1995, Fungus Amongus.
Incubus went on to release six studio albums (the last three
produced by Brendan O'Brien),
achieving RIAA Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum success; as well
as five live albums. Four of their songs have hit #1 on
the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, including
"Drive" (2000, also Top 10 Pop), "Megalomaniac" (2003),
"Anna Molly" (2006), and "Love
Hurts" (2008).
Since Deftones' inception, the multi-Platinum, Grammy
Award®-winning alternative rock band from Sacramento, Cali. have quietly been pursuing two paths,
delivering songs defined by churning, double-fisted aggression
while also testing the boundaries of music by incorporating
elements of psychedelia and shoegaze. The Los Angeles Times wrote of Deftones,
"Hard rock thrives on conflict and chaos, and no band has found
more beauty and soaring aggression within those ingredients than
Deftones." The band's seventh studio album Koi No
Yokan, released in November 2012,
spawned two Top Five hits at Rock radio ("Tempest" and
"Swerve City"). Koi No Yokan met with critical
acclaim with Revolver naming it their "Album of the Year"
and SPIN selecting it as one of its Top 50 Albums of 2012.
The New York Post also hailed it as "one of the best rock
albums of the year." Deftones have released seven
albums to date and have sold over 10 million albums worldwide.
Vocalist/guitarist Chino Moreno, guitarist Stephen Carpenter, keyboardist/samplist
Frank Delgado, drummer Abe Cunningham and bassist Sergio Vega, are currently working on their
eighth studio album to be released in 2015.
Globally revered and highly influential dance-punk duo Death
From Above 1979 are touring in support The Physical
World released by Last Gang Records/Warner Bros. Records
this past September.
Produced by D. Sardy (Red Hot Chili Peppers, LCD Soundsystem,
Wolfmother, Oasis), The Physical World comes a full
ten years after the release of the band's universally
acclaimed debut album, You're A Woman, I'm A
Machine, which made Jesse F. Keeler (bass, synths,
backing vocals) and Sebastien Grainger (vocals and
drums), an underground / overground sensation. DFA 1979
broke up in 2006 while the first album and subsequent remix album
continued to sell inexplicably. They decided to reunite in 2011 and
began to perform live picking up where they left off without
missing a beat. Their rabid cult has only continued to amass just
as inexplicably. "Returning a decade later, they're still
crushing violent, angular riffs, but they're also writing catchier
songs. A throwback to a throwback that's better the second time
around." – Rolling Stone Magazine
