Try being The Servant for once

All I am going to post are a couple quotes about the band The Servant other than giving you my expert opinion, mostly because they say everything I want to say, and more eloquently, about what has been one of my favorite bands for the last three years.

"It’s a very hard job to label how The Servant sounds – practically impossible. A soul immersed in punk, with funky and electronic vibrations, references to the 80’s, dance and hip-hop influences… The Servant is all that and more, reflecting the eclectic verve of its leader Dan Black."

Plum Music 2007

"The Servant's unique sound which blends Radioheadish experimental tunes with sixties undertones and with a fair indulgence of guitar encrusted rock n' roll, all led by a mesmerising, even if bordering on neurotic, front man."
Paolo Gandolfi: Music News, London Dec 06

"A boy falling to bits over weaving striplight guitars while a psychotic monkey and retired drug dealer dance around the smouldering remains of a vintage snare."

The song I want you to check out is called Orchestra. It is an amazing song from their self-titled debut album a couple years ago. But don't stop there, get the CD and listen to it all, it is truly amazing. They have some newer stuff out, and don't get me wrong that stuff is good too, but there is nothing they can do on any new stuff that can top their old stuff.
