Servo

French band deals in the kind of dark, post-punk noise-rock that storms with ease between gloomy, hypnotic moments and bouts of powerful, motorik noise. SERVO’s sound finds an unstable home between heavy, droning psych-rock and gothic post-punk; forlorn, jangling guitars and deep, austere vocals breaking down into piercing blasts of feedback and distortion. After a couple of typically riotous and deafening shows in London, at underground haunts like The Shacklewell Arms and The Windmill, the band caught the attention of Fuzz Club Records that finally released their second album ‘Alien’ in 2020. Comprised of Arthur Pierre and Louis Hebert, SERVO have spent the last few years bringing their intense live show – an assault of trance-inducing noise and blinding flashes of light – to growing audiences around mainland Europe and the UK. 'Monsters' is the name of their third album that came out in early 2024, and the objective is still the same : the music is to serve the live. The show has to be powerful and immersive. Each track is blessed by brutality and heavyness. The place left after the storm can be filled with details and complexity, as predictable than unexpected. The audience is captured, hypnotized and no one can escape.
