Deerhunter
Biography
American indie-rock band Deerhunter was formed in the beginning of the new Millennium in Georgia by the vocalist Bradford Cox and the drummer and keyboardist Moses Archuleta. The group’s first bassist Justin Bosworth died because of the traumas that he got while skateboarding. Thus Deerhunter were joined by Joshua Fauver, who had already played in punk-rock band Electrosleep International by that time. Justin’s death had a huge influence on his band mates: later they noted that it was extremely difficult to record the first album. After that Bradford invited his school friend Pundt to Deerhunter and that is how the current and constant line-up was formed.
