Deftones

Grammy winning American hard rock outfit Deftones have an unquestionable passion for music. Booming drums, screeching feedback, and gut-born screams, they create innovative, atmospheric music that reaches far beyond that achieved by most rock bands. The Californian five-piece, fronted by the enigmatic Chino Moreno, have helped redefine alternative music over the years.

IDLES are a heavy post-punk band from Bristol. They want to entertain and hurt in equal measure. They believe that art and violence work. Their spirit colour is coral pink. One of them loves queuing, one struggles counting, one has been arrested 8 times, one doesn't like music and one puts sausage rolls on his pizza!

'IDLES are hard to capture, because they're not Fat White Family, they're not Sleaford Mods, they are very much their own incarnation of uncompromising rhythmical punk rock. Lyrically, a mixture of dry obsessional humour and poetic slogans. But, best of all, they really get the adrenaline pumping' - Steve Lamacq, BBC6 Music.
