The Servant were a London based alternative band that are popular in Britain, France, Italy, as well as other European countries and in western Canada. Singles include "Orchestra", "Liquefy", and "Cells".
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 released their second album entitled "How To Destroy A Relationship" in 2006.
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.
On November 26, 2007, the band announced via their blog on MySpace that they were splitting up "to move on to pastures new".
