While taking over the outdoor theatre during their debut set at this year’s edition of Coachella, Chino Moreno and co. jumped right into the 1984 Smiths track following their performance of ‘Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away)’.

The band rarely perform their cover of the indie classic which was featured in their 2011 compilation album simply titled ‘Covers’. The LP also saw Deftones take on tracks from the likes of Sade, The Cars, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Duran Duran and more.
