Names, X: Xerces

"Xerces," Deftones


From the album Saturday Night Wrist

DJ comments: This is still no White Pony kind of dominance, but this song is pretty good. — cwc

I’ve always thought the Deftones were like a heavy-metal Cure (check out any of their covers sometime). A great song named after the god from “300” … well, it’s spelled different, but still. There are better songs off this album (“Saturday Night Wrist”), like “Cherry Waves,” but that’s not a name. And if your name is Cherry Waves, how’s that career in porn treating you? — sp
