Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle: As a teenager, Stephen Carpenter was struck by a car while skateboarding and spent months recovering. Money from the eventual settlement helped him buy music gear, indirectly helping fuel the band that became Deftones.
-
Studio Lore: These early demos capture Deftones before Adrenaline, when their sound leaned much harder into funk, rap, hardcore, and groove metal before the dreamy textures of their later records emerged.
-
Fun Fact: Stephen Carpenter came up with the name “Deftones” by combining the hip-hop slang “def” with the old-school “-tones” naming style used by vocal groups, perfectly reflecting the band's early collision of rap culture and heavy music.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
