The Servant were an English alternative band, formed in London in 1998. They are popular in Britain, France, Italy, as well as other European countries and western Canada.
Their first introduction to an American audience was in the film Sin City with the song "Cells". 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 The Transporter and 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 fourth album entitled How To Destroy A Relationship in 2006.
Before achieving commercial success in 2004 with their self-titled album, 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 on their blog at MySpace that they were splitting up "to move on to pastures new".
