From Ferni Zavala:

Seems like I'm the only one who cares... but just thought I'd pass along, that one of the best heavy rock bands Deftones cite Morrissey as an influence, on there new album White Pony... they have done over 8 covers of Smiths and Morrissey songs... this was found on their website...

Street Carp (a track off White Pony)
"A classic Deftones song, with a rolling riff and some really interesting chords in the chorus. the vocals are kinda crazy - I'm singing out loud over the top of the music, like (the Smiths front man) Morrissey or something, a cool contrast"
