Guitarist Freddie Cowan of The Vaccines is set to collaborate with his brother, Tom of The Horrors. Freddie told NME, "There's a concept of all four singles and every member of the band has to write and record their own B-side. Well, I'm probably going to do mine with my brother. I asked him to produce and he’s really up for doing it. I don't know if we’d collaborate on stage because we’ve done it already, but it’d be nice to do a collaboration with someone."
After speaking with Billboard magazine and giving an update on Incubus' summer plans, singer Brandon Boyd found himself in some hot water since he hinted the band will go on hiatus again. Boyd said, "We have no plans, to tell you the truth, at the moment, I have been tinkering around, potentially, with a second solo record. That's probably the most likely scenario. But as far as Incubus right now, we'll probably take another break." Now, the bands manager has spoken out and negated Boyd's comments and said to CBS Local, ""Incubus has always taken a bit of a break after making an album and touring in support of it. After they finish the Honda Civic tour, they’ll have been on the road for a year and a half. Any band would need a break after that."
