Is it OK for me to be really excited upon reading Deftones news? Middle school me is really giddy about hearing that Chino Moreno and the gang are putting out new music. But, truth be told, this news is kind of cool no matter what your eighth-grade thoughts on the band were.
As part of Record Store Day 2011 the Deftones are putting out a limited edition vinyl release comprised entirely of covers. Who will the be covering? Everyone from The Smiths to The Cardigans to Skynard. Seriously, this tracklist looks insanely great:
Side A
01. Drive (The Cars)
02. Caress (Drive Like Jehu)
03. Please Let Me Get What I Want (The Smiths)
04. No Ordinary Love (Sade)
05. Savory (Jawbox)
06. Do You Believe (The Cardigans)
Side B
01. Simple Man (Lynrd Skynrd)
02. Ghosts (Japan)
03. The Chaeffeur (Duran Duran)
04. If Only Tonight We Could Sleep (The Cure)
05. Sleep Walk (Santo & Johnny)
The release is titled Covers and is limited to 5,000 vinyl-only copies. So add this to the list of things you need to pick up at your local record store on April 16.
The Deftones are also going on a spring tour with Dillinger Escape Plan. Check out those dates here.
