Getdown Services are Josh Law and Ben Sadler, childhood friends from Minehead, Somerset, now based in Bristol. Together they make sharp, groove-driven music that mixes post-punk, funk and social commentary with dry humour and astute observations of everyday life. Their debut album Crisps (Breakfast Records, 2023) introduced a sound rooted in rhythm, wit and working-class surrealism. Songs about modern Britain were set to arrangements that reflected both their humour and frustration. The album drew praise for its originality and set the tone for everything that has since followed. Since then, Getdown Services have built a reputation as one of the most entertaining and distinctive live bands in the UK. Their second EP Your Medal's In The Post (2024) received support from Rolling Stone UK, DIY, The Line of Best Fit, Clash and BBC 6Music, and fan favourite Dog Dribble was playlisted by BBCMusic.
The following year brought Primordial Slot Machine, a six-track EP led by Eat Quiche, Sleep, Repeat. It saw the pair exploring themes of self-doubt and acceptance through their trademark mix of humour and pathos. Their approach - completely DIY and testament to both hard work and innate talent - continues to make them one of the most original and exciting voices in British music. - Louisa Worskett, at Fear Of Music
