Senseless Things and Wildhearts singer/guitarist Mark Keds has died at the age of 50.
Words: Phil Alexander
Everybody knew Mark Keds. At least that’s how it felt in early 1991, when the guitar-toting frontman and his mates in the Senseless Things signed a major deal with Epic Records.
By that point the well-loved Twickenham four-piece had become perennial fixtures on the London club scene, having zig-zagged their way up and down the country while releasing a slew of impressive singles and their debut album, Postcard C.V.
Released in ’89, the album showcased Mark’s unvarnished talent as a songwriter. His ability to write infectious pop-punk nuggets full of teenage angst was exemplified by the likes of Come Together, Sneaking Kisses, Drunk And Soppy and Too Much Kissing – tunes that echoed the likes of The Who and Buzzcocks.
