Isis, Deftones members form new band, Palms

Wednesday, April 25, 2012 7:56 AM PT


Official press release:

Meet Palms, a newly formed Los Angeles based quartet featuring three former members of Isis with Deftones' vocalist Chino Moreno.

"Clifford, Jeff and I started Palms a little over a year ago out of a desire to continue making music together after Isis ended," explained Harris. "Chino joined shortly after and our sound took shape from there. We've worked really hard on this first release and are excited for people to hear it. It's nice to be back behind the drum kit, and with this line up."

"Being a huge Isis fan I've always dug the moods these dudes convey with their sound," added Moreno. "I am excited to combine my sense of creativity with theirs, and to have fun doing so."

Palms' debut album will be issued by Isis' former label, Ipecac Recordings, and is slated for a 2012 release with a release date to be announced soon. The album was recorded and mixed by Harris, and produced by Palms.

Palms is Jeff Caxide (bass/keyboards), Aaron Harris (drums), Clifford Meyer (guitar/keyboards) and Chino Moreno (vocals).

If this isn't as boring as the final few Isis albums, then I too will be stoked

Isis is boring. Deftones are boring. i'm sure this will be engaging, profound, and fun to listen to.

This asinine side project is obviously very important to you. Go kill yourself.

Could have a better band name, but damn...dudes from two excellent bands collaborating. Will pick this up with the quickness.

Chi Cheng is stoked...Raised his leg in approval earlier today.

4/26/2012 4:20:11 PM
^^^Hahahahahahaha! That's horrible but hilarious. There's an open seat at my reserved table in Hell, if you're interested.

isis members could have had something special. its a bummer deftones are involved. at least thats my opinion.

4/27/2012 7:33:15 AM
And you're entitled to that opinion, however wrong it may be.

anonymous
4/27/2012 8:17:46 AM
This should be interesting at least. Isis was a great band and I used to love the Deftones but I haven't bought one of their albums since White Pony. i hear the new Deftones album is great.
