Mark Lind is a singer/songwriter from Charlestown, Massachusetts. He released his debut studio album Death or Jail in early 2006. Lind is also the front-man and bassist of Boston punk band The Ducky Boys. His most recent solo release, an EP titled Compulsive Fuck Up was released in March 2007. Lind performs in clubs all around New England either solo or with his backing band, the Unloved. The Unloved feature Jason Messina (x - Dirty Water, The Ducky Boys), Mike Savitkas (Death & Taxes), & Jeff Morris (x - The Bruisers, Death & Taxes).
Lind began writing songs during his senior year of high-school after being inspired by bands like Rancid and Green Day. By 1995, Lind and cousin Jason Messina would form The Ducky Boys and within three years, released two albums and grew in popularity in the Boston punk scene with the help of Dropkick Murphys' front-man Ken Casey.
However, by 1999, the band fell into turmoil and soon broke up leaving Lind with no band.
Soon after The Ducky Boys' downfall, Lind teamed up with his brother Rob Lind of Blood for Blood and began writing music. Focus heavily on song-writing, the two formed the band Sinners and Saints. The band had more musicality and pop elements than The Ducky Boys, a change that gave the band a unique sound. They were offered a record contract with Victory Records for the groups future album The Sky is Falling, but chose to turn it down, a huge mistake they would later admit. The album went on to have huge success and the band grew a huge following by 2002.
Due to personal matters, Rob was unable to continue the project, and the band disbanded by the end of the year. Hoping to get back to his punk roots, Lind would form a Ducky Boy like band called Dirty Water. Re-uniting with Messina, and recruiting The Coroner on guitar and John Davidian on bass, the band would release their self-titled ep Dirty Water in 2003. Like Sinners and Saints, the band was a major success in the Boston area.
