Mark Lind & The Unloved are a rock n’ roll band from Boston, MA.
Mark Lind (that’s me) broke into the Boston music scene in 1996 as the front man for Ducky Boys. Since then I’ve played with Sinners & Saints, Dirty Water, Ducky Boys for a second stint and now the Unloved. Some people really like the early Ducky Boys’ stuff but I don’t think I really knew what I was doing until playing in Sinners & Saints. Getting to play with my brother, Rob, and Dustin Hengst taught me a lot about songwriting as a craft. The first band I was really able to apply these lessons to was Dirty Water. We existed as a band for one year and released one EP that a lot of people like and I’m still very proud of.
In 2003 I transitioned back to Ducky Boys and we released Three Chords and the Truth in November 2004 to a lot of excitement and rave reviews. In 2006 we followed it up with The War Back Home which we were all collectively very proud of and many people consider it to be the best release the Ducky Boys ever did.
On the same day of that CD’s release I released my debut “solo” CD called Death or Jail. I followed it up with a self released EP called Compulsive F@k Up in the Spring of 2007 and then did a full recording with The Unloved later that year which became The Truth Can Be Brutal, released in June 2008.
We’re currently playing regionally in support of The Truth Can Be Brutal and plotting the next recording. There is no time frame on when that will come together but I’d like to have it recorded and released some time in 2009.
