Awesome news! DEFTONES are set to tour Australia in May 2013, supported by letlive.!
Check out the official press release:
DEFTONES have always been one step ahead of their alternative metal peers. They have spent their career battling on the front-line, always pushing ahead stylistically and crafting crushingly effective metal tracks whilst breaking new ground.
2010’s Diamond Eyes was a roaring return for the band but its the new album Koi No Yokan that sees them forge into unchartered territory. NME were in awe exclaiming its easy to see why theyre so revered. Its a shotgun blast of cranked guitars, bruising hardcore and canyon-sized chorusesmesmerising. Absolute Punk summed it up in one sentencethis is a fucking great album. Under The Gun rated the album perfect stating The bands vision and skill remain second to none in their field and they have executed this record sublimely.“
Full of punk rock aggression and rock n roll swagger letlive. have exploded on to the world stage as one of the most exciting and important bands of 2012.
Channeling the frantic intensity of The Blood Brothers, awe inspiring sonic complexity of At the Drive In, the unrestrained emotion of Glassjaw and industrial strength hardcore of Refused, letlive. are injecting new blood into the scene with their latest record Fake HistoryConsistently thrilling and invigorating its a phenomenal record thats worthy of all praise. - Rock Sound
So brace yourself for extremes as you prepare to witness the eagerly-awaited return of DEFTONES in May 2013. They are simply a brutal and out-of-control noise machinealways shattering the foundations of the buildings they play in. NME
