Deftones
Deftones are an American alternative metal band.
When signed on Maverik records, Muse & Deftones were "labelmates"
Muse supported them at Ilha do Ermal Festival 2000.
On July of 1999 Matt Bellamy & Chris mentioned Deftones as one of their five "all time" favorite bands*[1]
Howard is a fan of Deftones apparently.
On an interview featured on the February/1999 issue of NME, the interviewer asked Bellamy about how they fell about being signed to Maverik records:
"Don't you feel sick to the stomach knowing that you're "labelmates" with Alanis Morissette?" Matthew grins "Not really, they've got Deftones and i really love Deftones. The great thing about Maverik is that they've only got about 15 acts and they've taking us as a priority. They've not the sort of label who'd drop a band if their first album doesn't sell too well. but we're not corporate at all. We're still independent in this country."
