Deftones formed in 1988 in Sacramento, California. Their first commercially released album was Adrenaline, in 1995. It peaked at number 23 in the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, its success attributable to word-of-mouth and rigorous touring and live performance. 1997's Around the Fur was far more successful, peaking at number one on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, and at number 29 on the Billboard 200.^[2] It was also their first international success, entering the UK Albums Chart at number 56.^[3] The album provided their first ever charting singles, "My Own Summer (Shove It)" and "Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)". White Pony was released in 2000 to critical acclaim and unprecedented commercial success, peaking at number three in the US.^[2] Singles "Change (In the House of Flies)" and "Digital Bath" supported the album's release. A single entitled "Back to School (Mini Maggit)" was released as a rap-influenced reinterpretation of White Pony's closing track, "Pink Maggit". While commercially successful and a fan favorite, the band have vociferously objected to its publication.^[4] White Pony was subsequently re-released with "Back to School (Mini Maggit)" as the album's opening track.
