LASTFM: The Social Services are two thirds Glaswegian and one third Swedish, so that explains their combined love of nature and cholesterol. Their nomadic lifestyle and frustration with the world around them inspire them to write songs about war, death, consumerism, being an immigrant, storage solutions, potatoes and swimming. They rant without being shouty and they love it when everybody joins in on the sing-a-long choruses.
Their debut album Its nothing personal, Its national security is out 13th October on Stereo Test Kit records.
Band Members:
Emma Naismith - bass, piano, vocals
Lucy Cathcart - piano, bass, vocals
Martin Frödén - drums, guitar, vocals
