The Deftones (a band I let scream at me every day of my early adolescence, and loved it) have stumbled into the prongs of their cliche, leaving some fans wishing for some more Around the Fur action, and I don't mean the kind you get from Peaches' overexposed armpits. With their last self-titled release dropping into near obscurity just weeks after its release, the Deftones are spinning another 180 with their opening band selection: Denali. That's right-- Denali-- handpicked and ready to support them on their fall tour.
