Quote from: Eoin McLove on July 29, 2026, 11:12:25 PMTalking about whacky bands, I loved the first Incubus and the EP before it back in those days. They were unreal musicians. I revisited S.C.I.E.N.C.E. a few years ago and didn't get far through it, though. I'll just leave it alone and enjoy the memories  :laugh:
I only ever knew SCIENCE when I was younger and I liked it, the next album did nothing for me and I forgot about them as it went on.  Went back to SCIENCE a few years ago on a whim and enjoyed one or two songs but jesus it didn't hold up well at all otherwise  :laugh:

Yeah, the one after it was shite. All of the creativity and energy of the early stuff (which has held up poorly, but was the appeal at the time) was cut out in favour of a more streamlined, mainstream sound. And they took off with it, so fair play, but not my bag.

The supporting SOAD thing is reminding me of the time I heard NIN were going to play a gig in Dublin and I was delighted until I found out they'd be supporting Foo Fighters. What an awful, awful downer

Think the only good thing that came out of Incubus was the singers cameo in Reservation Dogs.


Excellent news.

I liked Jon Hudson but I always felt Spruance was perfect for them. Always wondered what could have been had he stayed on longer than 5 minutes.

Big time! I can't remember if I've heard him play anything that wasn't on King For A Day. Very exciting news

I suppose it will probably just be gigs with him but it would be fair cool if they recorded an album now that they have him on board. The last album sounds half finished apart from a couple of excellent tunes and I'd hate to see them go out like that.

Love his playing and it's a waste if it's only for live stuff.

Any word on why Hudson is gone?

Couldn't find anything on why Jon left. He wrote some decent stuff but always lived in the shadow of Big Jim. Spruance is one of my favourite guitar players.
