about

This is our band's 2nd album, "No Fool" (2006) which, due to a number of mishaps, overlaps & distractions (entirely imputable to Simon Shack - i.e. yours truly) has never been published anywhere at all! Well, some instrumental parts were used for the soundtrack of my 2007 movie September Clues - but other than that, this album has been resting dormant in my hard disks for over a decade - and I really have no excuses for it. So yes - perhaps I am a right fool after all... But as they say, better late than never. I have recently remastered all the tracks of this album - and am quite pleased of the outcome. A number of longtime Social Service fans (who've kept asking what on Earth happened to our long-announced "No Fool" album) should be happy to see it finally published today, here at Bandcamp. Enjoy.

And if you do appreciate this music - please don't hesitate to purchase it at any price that you may feel it's worth. Nowadays, it is really tough for unsigned bands like us to uphold our labor of love with little or no income - I'm sure you will appreciate this fact.

And yes, that's me diving (naked) into the Moon. Don't just reach for the Moon - dive into it !

Simon Shack
