Team Sleep: The Friendship and the Fury

[@ericmsandoval]

“Ice Ache” is a SUPER underrated leaked Team Sleep song

[@CFChristian]

Ooooooooh *that's* why the demos sound so good. Didn't realize it was handled by Terry Date.

[@theshocker4626]

Rob Crowes voice is really rich and wonderful.

[@commodore6430]

Does anybody in the comments wanna start a band that uses team sleep and deftones as the main influence? I'm amazed at the information you found out in here. Love it, man.

4/20, the debut album is issued a vinyl print. I'm pre-ordering it immediately. I think Team Sleep, I think of my freshman and sophomore years in high school. I think of falling in love for the first time, I think of late night drives with my friends. I think of those demos on their MySpace. And personally, I think of learning how to construct music and writing/recording songs - that was around the time I started learning how to do analog production. Team Sleep is a lot like opening my high school yearbook and reading the love notes written inside.

[@dariabjorn]

The older I get and the more time passes, the more I believe Team Sleep was just ahead of its time! I remember listening to them in high school and I was absorbed in this magical athmospheric sound, but I couldn't truly understand what it was. It has something of the 2013-2014 post-rock wave, a very modern indie sound and a lot of experimental stuff that wasn't very common in the famous alternative scene of the time. But these are just my feelings and thoughts! Thank you very much for your videos about Team Sleep and Deftons. I feel how much of a big fan you are and it's tune with me a lot

[@AfroRedMusic]

Same! It's amazing everytime I relisten (I'm re listening today too lol)

[@mindofmatter071]

Same as ditto!!! Where's time gone?

[@Whiskey10209]

Team Sleep just reminds me of a special time in my life. I met a girl after a bad relationship and a long stint doing my own thing. A mutual friend had set us up unbeknownst to either of us... we ended up driving around that first night we met and I put on Team Sleep. Turned out she was already listening to and down with Deftones, Team Sleep. Man... that chemistry was just there , right off the bat we hit it off. Just melted through the next couple years...

[@CarlosPxyz]

melts the emotion glad things were so great

[@prettylush456]

hope its still goin strong

[@backfru]

TS is so unique and defies genre's. I prefer them over Deftones, A perfect Circle, Tool and all the other main/side gigs. Nothing sounds as good as the Team Sleep album, their demo's, loops, remixes and such. It's right up there at the top, of albums to listen to at night

[@marys4428]

ahhhh Todd was my english teacher in HS very talented dude and:D best teacher evvver even tho i failed his class because i was a stupid immature high schooler at the time… He would talk about team sleep and how cool the band/tour was then, how they went to japan, the band was definitely ahead of its time top 5 best band of all time… hopefully they get back together soon or make a project together..Most slept on band that deserves lots of recognition just like Defrones glad this video stumbled upon my recommended.

[@NocturneMusic]

he sounds awesome!

[@NocturneMusic]

@serge does he have a favorite novel??? id wanna read it if I haven't already

[@bewaretheducks]

Good stuff man. Really comprehensive history of a band that were ahead of their time. Thanks for making this.

[@heywella]

I got to see Team Sleep in May of 2005 in New Orleans. It's one of the best shows I've ever went to. The opener ( Strike Him Centurion) really set the mood. They had a screen playing a bunch of anime and 80's stuff while they laid down some of the best post rock I've ever heard. Then Team Sleep came on and Chino sang a lot of the songs that he didn't on the album. Their sound was awesome and the "vibe" was unlike any show I've ever been to. Even to this day. I really hope we get another album and proper tour from these guys again. They made special music. Great video.

[@pizowell]

No love for "Your Skull is Red"? That's my favorite TS song. "BLVD Nights" is a close second.

[@NocturneMusic]

my bad i actually love your skull is red

[@jordannorris2406]

Blvd nights is elite

[@nbfaydor-bz2vt]

Your lungs are red fingernails red and your clothes are red and it feels gold 🥂

[@SX1995able]

Chino explained that on the Peer Pleasure podcasts that he Just stopped going to school and I believe him just because he is really open about his old addiction

[@theodoredavidmooney5703]

Excellent job! Your delivery is very soothing and based on your insight, I listen to certain tracks in a different light and it is fun to do. Please keep up the great work, it is much appreciated.

I'm so freaking happy to see this video! I'm a really really big team sleep! This video was absolutely perfect, especially the history! I literally cant tell you how happy I am

[@viddrone]

Great job with this insightful breakdown.👍👏 I've been a deftones fan since the nineties and was amazed when chino made team sleep later. He was firing on all cylinders with Team Sleep and wish it was handled better. I never was aware there was such turmoil surrounding this project.

[@exsuscito]

Really enjoy your videos. You had me during the Saturday Night Wrist video when you clarified why you said 'The' Deftones.

[@NocturneMusic]

gotta protect myself 😂

[@beatznatwor]

I love how in depth you are on this. You’re doc style is fantastic man. Thank you for sharing so many unknown facts about Team sleep. I’ve always been a Deftones fan and listened to the team sleep discography but I didn’t realize all of the backstory! Keep up these awesome vids I can see you blowing up

good ass video, its so interesting knowing all these bits of information that isn’t as well known. Hopefully we get a new Team Sleep album, soon.

i remember i bought that cd when it first came out and i remember thinking "when im older im probably gonna live in the city and be into this kind of music". and here we are

[@dorascusin]

This is an amazing video thank you for this! Could you do a video of his other band Palms and its backstory of it?!

[@Spacegeezer]

Iceache, scarf bitch, kool aid party, appallonia are all songs I wish were officially realeased. Especially the first two I mentioned, they’re heavy af 😢

[@NocturneMusic]

scarf bitch is s-tier but isn't it pretty chill tho?

[@kidpresentable]

I had a copy of those leaks on CD back in the day! Still one of my favorite "albums"

[@Threatlevelparty]

Good video I’m glad I found it although 2 years later. One of my fave leaked is Iceache. I saw phallucy in old sac at the Scratch8 and chino, Todd showed up. Good times. I still wear my team sleep hoodie occasionally

Thank you so much my new friend. Thank you. I am struggling here, I'm doing pretty bad. I have persistent panic attacks and memorable good moments help them pass, I've watched this a few times now and it always helped. You have a very mild welcoming and soothing voice and meter. My headaches finally coming down after 3 days, deftones saved my life in high-school and I think you saved my sanity today. Bless you. Please continue your deftones work sir plz!

[@eatingsound373]

Dude! Can't believe you didn't mention Princeton Review. IMO it's easily the best thing they've ever done. I also wish some of the demos were finished, I love Lppp, C Block, The 'ol college try, Tennis face, Magnum Manipulator, Jaguar. Studio versions of these tracks would have been awesome. Anyway, thanks for the cool vid, this band def needs more recognition.

[@werthersoriginal]

I think the sample from Teenager comes from Moon River. Dj Crook has been really tight-lipped about it due to copyright.

[@lachlangriffiths6445]

The demo C Block is the best thing the band ever did IMO, there is a heap of demo playlists available out there… unfortunately I had a bad relationship that kind of ruined my associated memories of this band… I instead listen to bands like These Arms Are Snakes, Godspeed, Jesu, Mammifer and Blunt Razors - highly recommend all for anyone into this kind of music

[@fabianservin9362]

Koi no Yokan is a fusion between teem sleep and Deftones… at least that’s the vibe I got and that’s why it’s my favorite Deftones album.

[@dillinguuur79]

Idea for a future video that could spin off of this one...Zack M.F. Hill!!! From Hella, El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez Lopez (his best work by a mile in my opinion, you could do a whole video on that album alone), Goon Moon, Wavves, death grips (blah) & many more. The reason I say this is because A. He's a fucking beast, one of the best and underrated drummers ever & B. I've looked for videos about him before and there's just not much out there (kind of like Team Sleep lol), well there definitely should be and it should be quality and I believe you're the man for the job. I got many more ideas if you want to hear them. I would do it myself but I have no clue about making them and I couldn't do it justice, I've got the knowledge but no video making skills, so let me know if you want to hear them. Thanks for what you're doing though seriously, good stuff for sure.

[@NocturneMusic]

definitely appreciate the vote of confidence bro. im gonna have to do some research bc he's been busy over the past 20+ years and i only know three of his projects lol. with enough time i can get it done

As a drummer, "Princeton review" hits hard on the last part Also, where's "Formant" from? I found the official version on KZbin but in the diacography there's only the live version on "Woodstock sessions"

[@NocturneMusic]

formant was released as a demo. based on what i've seen there's like 3 or 4 versions of the song. one version is shorter, then there's another one with maybe more reverb
