Debut album 'Worst Case Scenario' with the gonzoid punk chant of first single 'Suds & Soda' to the off kilter pop sensibilities of 'Via' and onwards to the gentle introspective elegance of 'Hotellounge (Be The Death Of Me)', emanated from the streets of Belgium across mainland Europe and stone skipped its way across the Channel to knock on the door of the musical psyche of a continent.īacked up by powerhouse live performances through Europe, dEUS had successfully launched themselves into the burgeoningly healthy indie scene of the mid-90s and achieved it with a hybrid of intelligence and experimentation that perhaps was lacking in some of the more back-to-basics, past-reverential sounds of their contemporaries. Tom Barman (vocals, guitar), Julle de Borgher (drums), Stef Kamil Carlens (bass, vocals), Klaas Janzoons (violin, keyboards), Craig Ward (guitar), Rudy Trouve (guitar).
