Servals is a post-hardcore/post-punk band based in Hilversum and Utrecht, inspired by bands like Fugazi, Slint, Drive Like Jehu, At the Drive-In, Unwound and Sonic Youth. We play dual guitar driven music spanning between melancholic melody and walls of noise, often within the same song. Live we leave nothing on the table but sweat and broken guitar strings.
Servals started out with Carlos, Ralph, Aris and Stefan. Carlos’ arpeggios and midwest emo leanings complementedg Ralph’s more noise rock and post-punk inspired riffs and the strong interaction with Aris’ drumming. After a while Carlos left the band and Jasper (also known of Crashing) joined the band adding more grit and explosiveness to the band. With renewed energy we’re continuously writing more, playing more and recording demos aiming to record an EP and play more shows, louder and wilder then before.
