- The Service (now)
Pravda Records celebrates its 25th anniversary with a show Friday night at the Abbey Pub, including a reunion by the label’s most unfairly overlooked band, the Service. Though Pravda has released albums by groups like Black Smokers, the Diplomats of Solid Sound, and Cheer-Accident in recent years, it currently maintains a pretty low profile—its heyday was back in the late 80s and early 90s, when Pravda also ran a record shop of the same name on the ground floor of Metro.
