As kids, the Sacramento fivesome cut its teeth on Anthrax and The Smiths, Pantera and The Cure. As a band out of high school, Deftones mixed trip hop with thrash, melodic vocals with crushing reverb, and pretty with ugly. As chart-toppers and headliners, they’ve crossed over genres, defied categorization and confused the hell out of your iPod (“Heavy Metal?” “Hard Rock?” “Alternative?”)

Having previously been compared to the likes of Aphex Twin by NME and called "one of the most exciting UK bands to emerge in 2009" by BBC Music, Three Trapped Tigers are carving out a path all their own with a progressive sound defying definition.
