Formed in January 2009 in Glasgow, Scotland Selective Service are going to hit the ground running. Having just completed a week’s recording at Glasgow’s prestigious La Chunky Studios, the band have been gigging from April 2009. To date the band have released various singles including the 3 tracks Awkward Stage Thing Of The Past Don't Talk Too Loud available to buy from Bandcamp. They can be heard on Last FM on February 2009 . Being hard to pigeon hole is something that this band thrive upon. For the melting pot of funk, reggae, blues and down right rock'n'roll, is what differentiates Selective Service from the rest of the pack. Forming in 2009, the band spent their first 18 months together pounding the highways of their native Scotland, taking in new followers at every port of call. They supported some great acts along the way, including Sons & Daughters, The Jim Jones Revue, The Heavy and The Hours, earning well deserved plaudits from all of these peers. 2009 ended with a triumphant set at George Square during Winterfest to over a thousand hardy souls braving the freezing temperatures. 2010 saw the touring schedule worked to the max, with the band playing over 100 gigs and cutting their first disc at La Chunky Studios. Released in November 2010, the eponymous Debut EP has all but sold out (physically speaking) and the launch night was so over subscribed that between 30 and 40 disappointed fans could not get in to the event. Not the sort of band to rest on their laurels, Selective Service ended 2010 by re-entering the studio equipped with new cuts which had been road tested on the previous tour. This next effort, the You Best Believe EP was released in April 2011. The band have just shot their 2nd music video and a host of promotional activities are planned, most notably an instore performance at Pretty Green's Glasgow boutique. Kasabian tour DJ Dan Martin is also booked to play at the EP launch night, with Serge Pizzorno having given his personal approval.
