Deftones



Deftones are a rock band from Sacramento, California consisting of Stephen Carpenter (guitar), Chino Moreno (vocals/guitar), Abe Cunningham (drums), Chi Cheng (bass) and Frank Delgado (turntables/keyboard/samples). Deftones have a diverse sound that has been described as ranging from alternative metal and dream pop to progressive and experimental rock.
Critics have often praised them as one of the more unique rock bands of recent years for their innovative, atmospheric music; as Johnny Loftus writes, "Rock critics usually reserve a special place for Deftones above or at least away from the rest of the turn-of-the-century metal movement [...] Deftones have always seemed more curious, more willing to incorporate traditionally revered sounds like dream pop or D.C. hardcore into their northern California alt-metal."
