The Intelligence Service

The Intelligence Service is a Deranged Pop Psychedelic Punk band from Vancouver, Canada. Disturbed vocals and chainsaw guitars coupled with riffy organs and analog synth drones sit atop melodic bass lines and driving drums.

The Intelligence Service have completed two full-length albums with punk guru Chris Woodhouse (famed producer/collaborator of Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall, FUZZ, Wand, Meatbodies). Their debut album Transgressors received praise from audiences and reviewers, drawing comparisons to The Velvet Underground, The Black Angels, Moon Duo, and Suicide.

On stage they have supported such renowned acts as Ty Segall & The Freedom Band, The Mystic Braves, Quintron & Miss Pussycat, Cosmonauts, Mr. Elevator & The Brain Hotel, VHS, and Duotang.

Their sophomore concept album Beatrice’s Guitar was released on November 21, 2019.

“If the Jesus and Mary Chain tripped back in time to Haight-Ashbury circa 1967 and started a Suicide tribute band, it might sound a little bit like this.” - The Georgia Straight

“Imagine The Velvet Underground jamming with The Black Angels after listening for hours, on high doses of epo, to Suicide records.” - Turn Up The Volume
