Deadcuts are an English post punk group formed in 2012 by former Senseless Things front man, Mark Keds (vocals/guitar) and Jerome Alexandre (guitar/backing vocals).[1] Mark is also known for his previous work with The Wildhearts and Jolt, as well as co-writing The Libertines Can't Stand Me Now.[2] [3] [4]

The group released their debut album “Dark Is The Night” in 2014 on Speedowax Records.[1] [5] [6] and Fat White Family in 2015.[7]

After the departure of members Mark McCarthy (The Wonder Stuff) and Trevor Sharpe (Miranda Sex Garden), the group were joined by ex-Senseless Things and Gorillaz drummer Cass Browne and bass player Joseph Johns.[8] [9]

The band supported The Libertines at their surprise Dublin Castle gig[10] and again in January 2016 at their Greenwich O2 Arena show in London.[11] [12] [13][14] [15] [16] [17] In the same month they were joined on stage by Andy MacKay (Roxy Music) and Charlotte Glasson (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Herbie Flowers) for a rendition of David Bowie’s “V2 Schneider” and “Lazarus” as part of a David Bowie Tribute concert in aid of Cancer Research UK at London’s Bush Hall, alongside other artists including Sophie Ellis Bextor, Graham "Suggs" McPherson (Madness ), Jay Mehler (Kasabian), Ed Harcourt, Nick McCarthy (Franz Ferdinand).[18] [18] [19] They also performed at a fundraiser show for former Mega City Four frontman Wiz in the same week.
