Biography
Around the turn of the millennium, London gave rise to the Servant—named for Joseph Losey’s 1963 film—when singer-guitarist Dan Black joined forces with bassist Matt Fisher and drummer Trevor Sharpe. Their debut release later that year was the six-song “mini album” Mathematics. Once lead guitarist Chris Burrows came aboard, the group tracked a second “mini album,” With the Invisible, also issued in 2000. The band’s first proper full-length appeared in 2003 under its own name; the fusion of dark, theatrical rock and occasionally quirky guitar pop quickly built an audience not only in Britain but in France and Italy as well. American listeners first encountered the Servant through an instrumental rendering of “Cells” placed in the trailer for the 2005 film Sin City. In 2006 the follow-up album How to Destroy a Relationship reached stores in France, Italy, and Switzerland, with additional territories slated for later.
