London band finish up in service (7)

I believe the answer is:

madness

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'service' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'london band finish up in' is the wordplay.
'london band' becomes 'mass' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'finish' becomes 'end' ('end' can be a synonym of 'finish').
'up' says the letters should be written in reverse (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'end' written backwards gives 'dne'.
'mass' enclosing 'dne' is 'MADNESS'.

(Other definitions for madness that I've seen before include "Absurdity" , "Dementia" , "fury" , "Group" , "Lunacy - ska/pop band" .)
