The Servant are a London based alternative band that is very popular in Britain, France and Italy, as well as other European countries. Singles include "Orchestra", "Liquefy", and "Cells". Despite growing international demand, they have chosen to focus on strengthening their European audience before globe trotting.

Their first introduction to an American audience was an instrumental version of their song "Cells", featured in trailers for the film, Sin City. The instrumental version of "Cells" is not on the Sin City soundtrack, but it can be downloaded via their website ("Cells" was also used in the film Transporter 2, along with their song, "Body"). Since the Sin City trailers there has been significant U.S. interest in their records and demands for live concerts. The band has recently released their second album entitled "How To Destroy A Relationship".

Before achieving commercial success in 2004 with The Servant, released by Prolifica Records in the UK and by Recall Group in France, The Servant released two mini albums: Mathematics in 1999 and With the Invisible in 2000.
