Famous Last Words are set to release their new album, The Incubus on September 30th on Revival Recordings.. They released their first single, Pretty in Porcelain which introduced the concept of their album. The band’s lead vocalist, JT Tollas elaborated, “All of our full-length albums have told stories that tackle extremely difficult situations…The Incubus, tackl(es) the issue of sexual and domestic abuse.
