Laurens Kusters not only runs I Scream Records very succesfully, he also drummed in hardcore band Deviate (also known as DV8) for more than ten years.



Sadly enough the band decides to call its quits in December 2003.



On KindaMuzik somewhere in 2000 Laurens explains why he started running a record label as a drummer:

"(...)Somewhere in the year 1993 or 1994, I got the idea to release the first deviate CD by myself, under my own recordlabel. I only started I scream to release the first DV8 record, and as you probably now, that was/is a success. So because it was a success, I started to look for some promising bands in my local scene (Brussels). So I signed a couple of (punk)bands from my local scene, and so on, the ball started rolling."
