Islander, the alternative metal band making waves, has just released their fresh take on Deftones’ iconic song, “Back To School (Mini Maggit).” This studio version drops after the band teased their live cover earlier this summer, captivating audiences at their shows.

In a statement, Islander expressed their motivation for covering the track, saying, “If they’re not gonna play it, we figured someone should.” This sentiment resonates with fans, especially since Deftones last performed the song back in 2022.

The original track has a unique history, crafted during a time when Deftones faced label pressure to produce a more commercially viable single. Despite its controversial origins, it remains a significant part of the band’s catalog.

With their energetic approach, Islander is sure to breathe new life into this classic, appealing to both longtime fans of Deftones and newcomers alike.
