Belgian alt-rock superheroes, dEUS, have revealed details of a new download-only track and summer festival tour, as well as an update on how their new studio album is coming along
As of 5pm tonight (Friday, 06 August), a new dEUS song, 'If You Don't Get What You Want', will be offered on the internet. Not an official single per se, the track is being offered as more a hint of what is to come. For a paltry 0,99 €, (that's about 66p, UK-ers) anybody and everybody will be able to download the song from the renovated dEUS-site (www.deus.be) or from the Skynet website (www.skynet.be). The song is described by head dEUS man Tom Barman as an 'old-school Velvety garage rock' song. So there you go.

On their forthcoming record, the band is currently in the studio recording for a possible release in the fall. 'Please expect a straightforward and uptempo rock album', Barman said. 'What we're after is an energetic, live sounding record, although it looks like it's going to be pretty eclectic and experimental too. We can't help it, we're just inclined that way.'
