Deez Nuts is the hardcore project of JJ Peters, who moonlights from his drumming duties in Australian deathcore titans I Killed the Prom Queen.

Albums like 'Stay True' and 'Binge & Purgatory' are built for crowd participation, making Deez Nuts a perennial fixture on festival stages worldwide.
Indiana's Deez Trees launched in 2025 with a blackened thrash 'n' roll approach — chaotic, fast, and irreverent, like a campfire that got out of control on purpose.
